Catalogue Note

William Walton was a close friend of the Kennedy's. During the Presidential campaign, he was a pivotal figure in the victories in Wisconsin and West Virginia and was the campaign coordinator in New York. Originally from Jacksonville, Illinois, he went to Washington in 1947 to work for Life and then the New Republic. He left journalism to devote himself full time to being an artist - over time, his style evolved from being quite representational to abstract.
