Ecstasy: The Mystical Landscapes of Walter
Anderson - Through April 5 Walter Inglis Anderson
painted thousands of jewel-like watercolors
of his beloved Mississippi Gulf Coast,
but the work from the last fifteen years of his
life is far and away the most expressionistic and
spiritual of his lifetime.
The pieces in this show have been divided
into four sections, each of which mirrors a different
phase of Anderson’s late work. These
works were painted mostly during the artist’s
often weeks-long ventures to his favorite and
nearest faraway place - Horn Island. His trips
there formed the cadence for the last eighteen
years of his life, becoming the springboard from
which Anderson created his most visceral, direct
responses to nature, which have the power
to awe and astound us even today.
The artist has been content to be the discoverer…to
find that art and nature are one. It is
time that he realized that it is he who makes
them one by the act of art.
March 1, 2-4 pm - Opening Reception for
"Through the Eyes of Children: America
