Frank Walter: The World Through

Frank Walter (1926–2009) was an Antiguan artist, writer and polymath who has achieved posthumous recognition as one of the Caribbean's most significant artists. Born Francis Archibald Wentworth Walter on Horsford Hill, Antigua, he was also a sculptor, photographer, composer and philosopher, and in later life became a recluse to devote himself to art. His work ranges from vividly colored landscapes to formally inventive portraits and systematic abstract compositions exploring nuclear energy and the universe. His centenary is marked by exhibitions including "The World Through" at David Zwirner, Los Angeles.
