Watercolor Stories: Art of Charles E. Burchfield presents the fascinating artistic relationship between renowned painter Charles E. Burchfield and Munson’s benefactor Edward Wales Root. The two met in 1929 and began a 25-year conversation about their mutual enthusiasm for art, music, and nature. Watercolor Stories features Munson’s collection of 24 expressive watercolors by the artist as well as a substantial collection of related artwork and archival material from the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The exhibition is accompanied by a new catalogue of Munson’s drawings.
