Form and Fantasy: The Block Prints of Walter Anderson
Jackson: University Press of MIssissippi, 2007.
First Edition. Hardcover.
Chronology by Christopher Maurer.
Walter Anderson, known for vibrant watercolors, murals, pottery, and sculpture, also carved more than 300 linocuts. Among these were the first monumental block prints in American art. Between 1933 and 1950, when American printmakers were restricted by the size of paper and competition rules, Anderson was carving blocks ranging in size from 6" x 4" to 6' x 4' with images of Gulf Coast flora and fauna, and myths, fairy tales, and legends. This work features full-color and black-and-white reproductions of over 250 of the artist's prints and includes essays by Mary Anderson Pickard, the artist's elder daughter, and by Patricia Pinson, former curator of the Walter Anderson Museum of Art.
