A RETROSPECTIVE by Frank Walter

アンティグア・バーブーダ人アーティスト、フランク・ウォルター(Frank Walter)の作品集。典型的な「フランク・ウォルター作品」など存在しない。作者の絵画表現は自由で広がりがあり、独自の視線を持っている。その作品は、自身の人種や国家にまつわる永続的な属性に対する立ち位置を表明したものである。作者の宇宙科学的な絵画は超自然的な輝きを持ち、抽象画は極めて構造的で、具象画は描かれた被写体の美徳を閉じ込め、風景画は独自の明晰な抽象性を有している。彼の作品は、類稀なる明晰さと率直さを持っている。視界を遮ることのないその大きさからは、凝縮された画面が迫ってくるようでもある。作者が残した多くの絵画、ドローイング、彫刻やテキストなどの作品が初めて美術館に会した展覧会に伴い刊行。

There is no typical Frank Walter. Hi painterly spectrum is free and wide. His way of seeing is his own. His oeuvre seems to stand in opposition to the permanent ascriptions he was subjected to throughout his lifetime, with respect to race and nation. His cosmological paintings radiate transcendentally, his abstract works are systematic, his figurative ones captivating by virtue of their individuality, and his landscapes come into their own in clear abstraction. His works are of exceptional clarity and directness. Their concentrated quality, which can also be traced back to their size, opens unobstructed access. The work of native Antiguan and Barbudan artist Frank Walter (1926-2009) encompasses numerous paintings, drawings, sculptures and writings that will be on view in a museum for the first time.
