With the natural world as his muse, acclaimed painter Walton Ford brings wild tales to life in resplendent color and drama. Celebrating an expansive show of his studies at New York’s legendary Morgan Library & Museum, the artist speaks with Dan about his humble beginnings in the art world, getting discovered by the late Paul Kasmin, his frequent comparisons to John James Audubon, how he conceives his highly imaginative works, and why the legend of King Kong isn’t the story you think it is.
