“All movement is to invisible music
although few people hear it.
It comes from the sun and the wind
and the movement of water and
a running rabbit and a crowing cock,
and together it is a part
of a great symphony.”
- Walter Anderson, A Symphony of Animals, p. 1.

Inspired by the natural world of the Gulf Coast, Walter Anderson created three hundred linoleum block prints, carved between 1930 and 1950. The pioneering aspect of this body of work was often its size, with some of the prints stretching to six or eight feet. In order to accommodate these lengthy images, Anderson printed them on the reverse of wallpaper.

Amanda Winstead Fine Art is pleased to present what is believed to be the largest known linocut by Walter Anderson. Water (Fresh) is almost 19 feet long and repeats the image six times. The Walter Anderson Museum of Art in Ocean Springs has in their collection a version of Water (Fresh) with the same coloring which repeats the image four times and measures 12 feet long. The lyrical and expressive image of water embodies the stylistic characteristics of Anderson’s work.
