Description
Like the early modern American painters, Anderson's work bears a stamp of originality that acknowledges debts while at the same time transcends them to create a vital and new artistic life.--John Paul Driscoll The value of Walter Anderson's story is seen in the fact that it parallels that of so many artists but surpasses most in its rare intensity. His double-leveled search, both geographical and internal, became, by dint of sheer exuberance, the stuff of myth. Horn Island became the locus of both strains of his search.--Dan Miller
