WALTER, Frank
Music of The Spheres

A book devoted to Frank Walter’s “spools”—the small circular paintings which, in their consistency of scale and form, provide a lens through which to witness the workings of Walter’s inner eye. Walter’s work was unknown during his lifetime, but in the decade since his death in 2009 he has emerged as one of the most distinctive and intriguing Caribbean voices of the last fifty years. Painted with a rare directness and immediacy on whatever material came most readily to hand, his works describe a visionary artist rooted in the landscape of Antigua, the island of his birth.

The publication was released in conjunction with the exhibition, Music of The Spheres, staged by Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh, for the 2021 Edinburgh Art Festival; it features  contributions by Barbara Paca, Paget Henry, Kenneth Milton, and Mary-Elisabeth Moore.
