Charles Burchfield: The Insect Chorus (1917-1920)


.


Trees, 1917




A curious mental depression assailed me, and I worked constantly to keep it down... the pulsating chorus of night insects commenced swelling louder and louder until it resembled the heart beat of the interior of a black closet.
