About the Item
Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965) is considered one of the pre-eminent artists of the 20th c. American south. Anderson’s artistic vision paired with the subjects of the Gulf Coast have made his work an extraordinary example of American modernism.
Walter Anderson was a painter, muralist, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramist. The Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, houses the primary collection of his works. Anderson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he received a Cresson Fellowship to study in Paris in 1927. In Paris, he became enamored with the Paleolithic cave paintings of the Dordogne Caves, which he preferred over the modernist excitement of the art world. The Dordogne Cave art henceforth had a noticeable influence on his drawing style.
He returned to Ocean Springs in 1929 and worked for his brother at the Shearwater Pottery Company. In 1934, he painted murals for the Ocean Springs High School with the WPA (Works Progress Administration) program. In 1940, after three years of being hospitalized for mental illness, he and his wife and children moved to Oldfields, the family home in Gautier, MS. In 1946, he began working alone at Horn Island. In 1950 and 1951, he was commissioned to paint murals for the Ocean Springs Community Center. His subjects often depicted the flora and fauna of the Gulf Coast.
After his death, his family discovered a large amount of work in what was called the "little room," a place at his home where he worked in solitude for 20 years. Every inch of the walls and ceiling were painted in his unique vision. The "little room" remains wholly intact and on permanent display at the Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs.

- Mid Century Tonalist Landscape of California Country RoadLocated in Soquel, CABeautiful tonalist landscape of California foothills and country road. Signed and dated "CKP" and "'69" lower right corner. Presented in rustic wood frame with eggshell mat under nonglare glass. Image size: 18.25"H x 13.25"W. Framed size: 23.5"H x 18"W. California Tonalism was art movement that existed in California from circa 1890 to 1920. Tonalist are usually intimate works, painted with a limited palette. Tonalist paintings are softly expressive, suggestive rather than detailed, often depicting the landscape at twilight or evening, when there is an absence of contrast. Tonalist paintings could also be figurative, but in them, the figure was usually out of doors or in an interior in a low-key setting with little detail. Tonalism had its origins in the works of the French Barbizon school and in the works of American painters who were influenced by them. California Tonalism was born when the emphasis in California landscape painting passed from the grand landscapes of works like those of Thomas Hill and William Keith's early career, to more intimate views of a domesticated landscape. At the same time, the parallel Pictorialist Photography...Category
