The South’s Most Elusive Artist

Walter Inglis Anderson

Organized by the Walter Anderson Museum of Art

Exhibit on View Sept. 7 - Nov. 23

Experience the restless creativity of Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965). Forty artworks, from jewel-toned watercolors to glowing ceramics, trace the life of a man who traveled the world by boat and bicycle. Anderson made nature-inspired art because he loved it, not caring whether anyone ever saw his creations.
