Paige K. Bradley reviews Charles Burchfield: The Nature of Seeing at DC Moore Gallery, New York, on view through June 13, 2015.

Bradley writes: "Start anywhere, go everywhere—that would seem to be the calling card of mid-twentieth-century painter Charles Burchfield’s body of work, which predominately captures scenes from nature and rural, country life as charged by drama, tension, and a freewheeling style that rockets straight out of humble en plein air painting’s crypt and into the stratosphere of vision."
