A long-overdue evaluation of John Walker’s work from the last half century. John Walker’s prolific painting career spans over sixty years. His practice is inspired by a range of visual references, notably the work of Goya, Matisse, the Abstract Expressionists and the art of Oceania, as well as by shapes and pattern motifs evoking history, time and place; however, his work cannot readily be defined as abstract or figurative, and his guiding thought is to have a conversation with the art of the past to embrace feeling and touch, and as Goya put it, to be aware of the sound of the brush. His desire to ‘own’ a subject is present in his engagement with the bay at Seal Point, Maine, near where he has lived for many years: ‘It’s about capturing something no one else has seen’. Walker’s works are in major museums and private collections internationally, and he has exhibited in museums in the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand and China. Despite winning the John Moores Painting Prize in 1976, and being nominated for 1985’s Turner Prize, he has exercised a resistance to reputation-building, and visualizes his studio practice as a slow, evolving process. His uncompromising judgments infuse the work, and are one reason he remains an artist respected and closely watched by many other artists, increasingly by younger admirers. Including essays by Catherine Lampert and Alex Bacon, this immersive new monograph is a long-overdue evaluation of Walker’s work from the past half century, connecting key works with new perspectives and historical influences, and examining the role of form, colour and presence in his masterly paintings.

John Walker's Passage

John Walker's Passage

John Walker is one of Canada's most prolific and important documentary filmmakers and is known for his many thoughtful, personally inflected films. His masterwork, Passage, centres on Sir John Franklin's failed expedition to find the final link of the Northwest Passage connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Canadian Arctic. It also gives us the story of John Rae, the Scottish explorer who discovered the fate of Franklin and the final link in the passage, but was left to the margins of history. Walker's film brings to this story a layering of dramatic action and behind-the-scenes documentary footage that build tension between the story of the past and interpretations of the present. Darrell Varga provides a close analysis of Passage, situating it within Walker's rich body of work and the Canadian documentary tradition. Varga illuminates how the film can be viewed through the lens of Harold Innis's theories of communication and culture, opening up the work of this great Canadian political economist to film studies.

G. B. Tatham

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
This is a study of the origins, writing and reception of Dr John Walker's 'The Sufferings of the Clergy' (1714), which was an important account of the events of the Civil War period as they affected individual localities and parishes as well as the clergy themselves. Dr Tatham explores the circumstances in which Walker wrote the book, the nature of the sources used to compile it and the manner in which he used them as well as the contemporary criticism that greeted its publication. He also includes a calendar of Walker's collection of manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, two letters from Walker concerning the book and a list of the principal printed authorities cited by Walker.
