Rediscover Clay Walker (1924-2008), mid-century abstract expressionist/modernist, master of diverse art media, oil paintings, watercolors, woodcuts, mixed media and sculptures.

In the latter 1950’s – early 1960s, at the apex of his career, he exhibited with Picasso, Warhol, Rauschenberg, etc. His artwork had been shown in over 200 US and international exhibitions; institutional/private collectors were numerous.

Walker moved to Southern California in 1963, teaching art at such institutions as Long Beach State, Orange Coast College and Chouinard. Several years later he took a sabbatical from teaching to focus on his studio work. In 1968, relocating to Escondido, resuming teaching, he kept apart from the mainstream art scene, only allowing family members, close friends and trusted collectors to view his pieces. His concern was not for commercial success but to retain his integrity as an artist.

He found his niche in the contemporary art world, yet Walker’s work has been displayed minimally since the late 1960s.
