Walter Wilson opening this Friday!
Posted November 16th, 2011 by Manitou Galleries
Join us at our 225 Canyon location this Friday for the opening of Walter Blakelock Wilson's 66 year retrospective! The opening is from 5 to 7:30pm.
Walter Blakelock Wilson is an accomplished American painter whose paintings, spanning over six decades, reveal many important periods in painting history. Influenced by such luminaries as Marsden Hartley, Milton Avery and Maynard Dixon, Walter Wilson’s work reflects a style that is at once both familiar and his own. Inspired as a boy by the paintings of his great grandfather, Ralph Albert Blakelock, Walter took to painting at a very early age, painting his first commissioned work when he was 14. Blakelock the elder was said to be one of the most unique of the Hudson River Valley School painters, which greatly influenced the younger aspiring artist.
