    Walter Anderson Intervew

    Title: Profile: Life and career of artist Walter Iglis Anderson on the 100th anniversary of his birth Source: Weekend Edition Sunday. (Sept. 28, 2003) Full Text: LIANE HANSEN, host: One hundred years ago tomorrow American painter, muralist, sculptor and iconoclast Walter Inglis Anderson was born. His name might not leap to mind as readily as Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper or other 20th century artists, but to those who have seen his vivid watercolors or epic murals, Walter Anderson's work is unforgettable. Anderson's creations can now be seen by a wide audience. The Smithsonian Institution has just opened a major exhibition of his art, some 160 pieces, the largest showing ever undertaken outside of his hometown of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Linda Crocker Simmons, Corcoran Museum curator emeritus, is guest curator of the Walter Anderson Centennial Exhibition at the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building. She says that Anderson's watercolors of flora and fauna might bring to mind the work of naturalist James Audubon, but the similarity stops there. Ms. LINDA CROCKER SIMMONS (Curator Emeritus, Corcoran Museum): He's not simply an illustrator. You would not use his images of frogs to give you biological information about what a bullfrog is like. He gives you his understanding of the relationship of that frog to the cosmos. He really is concerned more than with the replication of every wart on that frog, the frogginess of it, if you want to put it that way. HANSEN: Blue crabs radiate an iridescent sheen, hummingbirds face off needling beak to beak, menacing fish peer out of a bayou, impossibly green frogs ascend a curtain of bullrushes.

    Mississippi 14 Day Itinerary

    Mississippi 14 Day Itinerary DAY 1 Memphis-Southhaven-Tupelo (99 miles) Welcome to Mississippi! Begin just 20 miles south of Memphis at Tanger Outlets in Southaven, located just off Interstate 55. After shopping, travel through picturesque Holly Springs, known for its historic homes, churches, and museums. Located in the foothills of Northeast Mississippi, Tupelo is a must-see along the Natchez Trace Parkway. Live like a King in the city where the world’s greatest entertainer was born in a two- room shotgun shack. Visit the hardware store where in 1946 Gladys Presley bought her son, Elvis, his first guitar, and discover lots of small-town charm along Tupelo’s Elvis Driving Tour. DAY 2 Tupelo-Oxford (56 miles) Oxford is renowned for its deep-rooted history, charm and culture. The historic Courthouse Square has been the cultural and economic hub of Oxford since the town’s founding in 1837. It thrives with businesses such as Neilson’s, the oldest continuously operating department store in the South, and nationally famous independent bookstore Square Books. Oxford is a charming college town immortalized in the writings of Nobel Prize laureate William Faulkner. Visit Rowan Oak, Faulkner’s tranquil country home, where the outline of his novel, A Fable, is scribbled on the study wall. Next stop is the University of Mississippi’s campus, known as “Ole Miss.” The University of Mississippi and Oxford played a significant part in the American Civil Rights movement during the integration of the university. Oxford’s monument and historic marker on the Mississippi Freedom Trail paint a picture of the events that took place during a challenging and significant time in American history.
