Charles Burchfield Wallpaper

Charles E. Burchfield grew up in Ohio painting watercolors of nature and insect in a exuberant style where color had deep emotional resonance. he eventually moved to buffalo NY where he worked as a designer at the H.M. Birge wallpaper company. we all know that wall paper is pasted in vertical strips over walls in a room to provide a decorative or textured surface. but Charles wallpaper was much more than that. in his piece Morning glories he creates a scenery of three different flowers. these flowers really stand out because he makes the back ground out of dark colors such as black,brown and gray. he probably signifying a fresh start to each morning. every morning flower blossom up and its a new start to a day. I like how he creates shapes in the leaves and the flowers. if you look at the leafs to the left their like hearts with all different kinds of shapes in side of them.
