"Heat Waves in a Swamp: The Paintings of Charles Burchfield" is on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The show was organized by the artist Robert Gober.
Holland Cotter writes: "Summer, which can be hard in the city, could be heaven to the painter Charles Burchfield, the 20th-century mystic of American light. Because he spent most of his time in a leafy suburb of Buffalo, to him the season meant trees aureoled in noonday sunshine, afterglow skies as cool as the song of a thrush and gardens pulsing with the music of crickets in moonlight."
