"Seeking the Sublime:
The People of Walter Anderson"
March 1 - May 26, 1997
Excerpts from Seeking the Sublime by Joan Gilley,
Curator for the family of Walter Anderson
"Walter Anderson's search to understand human nature is reflected in the magnitude of works he produced of the human figure: portraits in oil, watercolor, ink, and pencil; Part of his legacy to the world is the example of such a life. Propelled by his insatiable curiosity, Walter Inglis Anderson researched human nature and gained self-knowledge through education, art, and self-reflective reading."
