WALTER ANDERSON: THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND ART OF THE ISLANDER (1x60) released August 1, 2022, from American Public Television (APT) and is presented by Mississippi Public Broadcasting. Produced by Anthony Thaxton and Robert St John.

WALTER ANDERSON (1x60) explores the fascinating life and work of Mississippi Gulf Coast watercolorist Walter Inglis Anderson in this intimate and revealing new film. Through poignant family interviews, never-before-seen artwork, and breathtaking images from Anderson’s beloved Horn Island, discover the genius who has been called "the South's greatest artist." 

Though featured in countless books and exhibitions, including a retrospective show at the Smithsonian Institution on the centennial of his birth, Anderson has not yet achieved his deserved place in American art history. This film shines light on all the facets of Anderson’s unbelievable output and presents a thoughtful progression of his life and art.
