By Land, Air, Home, and Sea: The World of Frank Walter

Nothing seems to be reworked-it is as if each piece drew or painted itself without being adjusted, revised, or fussed over.'' - Hyperallergic Influenced by his studies of agriculture and the sugar industry in the former British colony of Antigua as well as his extensive travels in England, Scotland, and West Germany, Walter created work inspired by his thoughts, knowledge, journeys, and surroundings-work that encompassed painting, drawing, writing, sculpture, photography, and sound. This focused selection focuses on paintings-tender, quiet, and lush-that transcend the traditional tourist''s view of island life in favor of perspectives that explore how and why we look at where we are. Published on the occasion of the 2022 exhibition at David Zwirner, this catalogue includes an introduction by the show''s curator Hilton Als. Barbara Paca, the leading expert on Walter, writes a text detailing her personal experience meeting Walter and being in his presence. An essay by Charlie Porter takes readers on a walk as he muses about Walter''s life and the nature depicted in his paintings. Joshua Jelly-Schapiro travels to Antigua to explore the history of the island and Walter''s lasting impact there.
