Visual Harmony- The Music in Walter Anderson`s Paintings

Mississippi artist Walter Anderson was a musical man; he loved to listen to music and often danced to it. He wrote that some of his most intense experiences of life came when listening to Bach or to Beethoven. He felt and understood and saw the music move before him and attempted to paint it. The presentation explores the visual use of musical elements and textures in Anderson’s poetry and art most of which comes from the Oldfields period of his life.
