Landscape Series, Sunrise
Frank Walter, self-styled 7th Prince of the West Indies, Lord of
Follies and the Ding-a-Ding Nook, was born and lived in Antigua. He
spent the last twenty-five years of his life in an isolated shack on a
hillside, surrounded by his writings, some 25,000 typed pages of
history, philosophy, and autobiography, and by the extraordinary
paintings and carvings for which he is now remembered.
His pictures include figurative scenes, landscapes, abstract
compositions, and real and imaginary portraits. They were painted with
immediacy and spontaneity on a variety of materials.
