Author: By Barbara Paca
Antiguan artist and writer Frank Walter (1926-2009) was an eccentric character now considered to be vastly under-recognised. Coinciding with Antigua and Barbuda's inaugural National Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2017, The Last Universal Man is the first comprehensive monograph on this important Caribbean artist. Defying categorisation as an outsider or self-taught artist, Walter worked as a writer, composer, sculptor and painter. Barbara Paca, an art historian who also serves as Cultural Envoy to Antigua and Barbuda, interviewed Walter over a seven-year period prior to his death, and provides insight and perspective into both the artist as a man and his prodigious body of work.
ISBN 9781942185185. Radius Books. hb. 196 pages, 80 colour. 24.13 x 29.8 cm.
