David Walker Oil on Canvas Painting of an Urban Scene

Item Details

An oil on canvas painting by David Walker (American, c. 1950 – c. 1985) of an urban scene. The 1982 painting depicts a figure standing at the top of steps leading down to the subway painted in muted grayed tones. The unframed painting is signed to the lower center and dated ‘3 – 8 – 82’ to the verso.

David Walker was an American artist who was most prolific during the 1970s and early 1980s. He was inspired by the German Expressionist movement and artists such as Kathe Kollwitz (1867 – 1945). Like many Expressionists, Walker focused on “fringe” subjects outside of mainstream culture. Keeping a sketchbook with him at all times, Walker was drawn to capturing the melancholy, isolation, and suffering of New York City life. Drawing and painting daily, Walker left over 300 works of art upon his death in the late 1980s
