Charles Burchfield’s representations of weather, wind, skies and sounds are unique historical records of the environment near Lake Erie. In 1915, Burchfield made a series of sketches that show the changing weather and position of the sun over the course of several hours, which he called all-day sketches. In these unique instances and others we will experience the landscape through Burchfield’s eyes. Working with climatologist and Buffalo State College professor Stephen Vermette, Ph.D., the dramatic and complex natural phenomenon are chronicled in more than 50 years of Burchfield’s writings, drawings and paintings.
General admission to the Burchfield Penney is free for Buffalo State students, faculty and staff and museum members.
