The crowning work in Walter Anderson's legacy of art was unknown until after his death. It is a mural that synthesizes all his life and all his art, all of nature and all the world. Those who see it today preserved within the Walter Anderson Museum of Art are stirred by awe and reverence. The demonic and reclusive Gulf Coast artist was so filled with nature's real presence and beauty that he had little patience with the superficial world. His absorbing passion was a belief in the unity of all natural things. The trail of art he left in his expansive wake is a testament to the profundity of his respectful love of all creation. Anderson's trove of splendid art suggests that his hand seldom did not hold some instrument to satisfy his impulse to create. In the furor of his solitude he created this treasure in secret from the world. When his family entered the padlocked room of his woodland cottage, they discovered one of America's most brilliant and original works of art. Covering the four walls and the ceiling, the mural was Anderson's vision of Psalm 104 of the King James Bible and, indeed, Anderson's paean to all living things. In A Painter's Psalm Redding S. Sugg, Jr., one of the chief commentators on Anderson's life and art, writes the history of the mural and explains its motifs, symbols, and religious implications. This full-color book imparts the stunning beauty that struck Anderson's astonished family when they unlocked the door and discovered this masterpiece. Sugg's text conveys the sense of wonder that the room inspires in all who enter it today.
