Description
Robert St. John and Anthony Thaxton have produced a beautiful new volume of art and family stories highlighting the prolific and reclusive Walter Inglis Anderson. It is a stunning collection filled with beautiful imagery and writings from an artist some critics have called "America's Van Gogh." Though featured in countless books and exhibitions (including a 2003 retrospective show at the Smithsonian Institution on the centennial of his birth), Walter Anderson has not yet achieved his deserved place in American art history. This book shines light on all the facets of Anderson's unbelievable output and presents a thoughtful progression of his life and art.With complete access to the Anderson family archives and the vaults of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, this comprehensive volume brings together much of the artist's finest work as well as paintings and photographs which have never before been published. Also included with the purchase of this book are complimentary download links to the acclaimed documentary film and soundtrack. Walter Anderson: The Extraordinary Life and Art of The Islander is an eye-opening and inspiring book to be treasured and dipped into again and again.
