Details:

In 1949, Walter Anderson’s linoleum block prints were featured in a solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. This exhibition focused primarily on the fairy tale blocks that Anderson created as an accompaniment to his depictions of the natural world. These linoleum block prints were groundbreaking in the history of art, preceding Picasso’s work of a similar size by several years. Anderson was fascinated with the history of folk tales, which are both regionally distinct and universally understood. He writes that, “although they are told by the people and claimed and possessed by the people, they have a tendency to become all one tale, one solar myth, and whirl back to the sun as the source of all life.”
