ABOUT

Charles Ephraim Burchfield

Charles Ephraim Burchfield (b. 1893, Salem, Ohio-d. 1967, Gardenville, NY) was an American painter and semi-surrealist artist, known for his watercolors of nature scenes and townscapes. The largest collection of Burchfield's paintings, archives and journals are in the collection of the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo, New York, the city he moved to in 1921 and lived in for the rest of his life.

In 2013, Richard Kegler (P22 Type Foundry) was commissioned by the Burchfield Penney to create the Charles E. Burchfield font to honor the artist. It is based on handwriting samples from the extensive archives. Kegler tried to imitate ther irregular style of the painter in his P22 Burchfield font, which was published in 2015.
