Frank Walter: To Capture a Soul
"Frank Walter: To Capture a Soul" is the first solo museum exhibition in the United States to focus on the work of Antiguan artist Frank Walter. Walter's body of work encompassed a variety of mediums, subject matter, and styles.
During his lifetime, he produced over 5,000 paintings, 1,000 drawings, 600 sculptures, 2,000 photographs, 468 hours of recordings, and a 50,000-page archive. "To Capture a Soul" demonstrates the artist's relationship to issues of race and identity, the legacy of slavery, the colonial and postcolonial experience, and the history and politics of Antigua, Barbuda, and beyond.
Drawing was not necessarily Walter’s primary medium, but it was his constant. With only a few lines, one acquaintance observed, he would "capture your soul." Learn more about this artist and thinker through the lens of his drawings, featuring works on paper alongside works on cardboard and wood, and featuring his many notebooks as well as his musical, genealogical, and poetic compositions.
