The Art of Walter Anderson Author:Walter Inglis Anderson Walter Anderson created much of his art in obscurity, and only after his death in 1965 did the magnitude of his labors and genius come to light. Today he is regarded as one of Americas foremost watercolorists and muralists Numbering in the thousands, his works include watercolors, oil paintings, drawings, block prints, figurines, potter... more »y, carvings and murals. With more than 175 full-color images, this catalog relates Anderson to other twentieth-century American artists and portrays him both as a major artist and a renaissance man. Coinciding with Andersons centennial and a national exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution, this sampling of his work reveals an eccentric genius, a transcendentalist who traveled into the terra incognita of the inner self. Contributors of essays include noted art historians and curators from the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Walter Anderson, Andersons biographer Christopher Maurer, and research staff at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art. Editor Patricia Pinson is curator of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.« less
