...fact, no other baseball fan in the world celebrates his sport with the bellowing fervor of the Caribbean aficionado. He has plenty to shout about: winter baseball brings back the home-town boys who have streamed north to the U.S. to find fame in the majors. In the nine leagues around the Caribbean this season, fans could get a close-hand look once again at such stars as the White Sox's Luis Aparicio (Venezuela's Rapinos), the Indians' Vic Power (Puerto Rico's Ca-guas), the Giants' Orlando Cepeda (Puerto Rico's Santurce...

Abstractionists often make this an argument for dispensing with subject matter, as pure music does. But Burchfield, an ardent hi-fi fan, imbues his landscapes with musical qualities while keeping them close to nature. From the grace notes of its stiff-frozen weeds and goldenrod to the black surge and sudden blazings of its sky, Burchfield's new picture eloquently sings...
