"What defines Walter Frederick's success as an artist is his use of bold
abstract forms composed of rich layers of complex colors balanced and tied
together with delicate strings of paint. While his paintings appear to be
easily apprehended, like the melody of romantic song, they are
composed of a symphony of color. And, clinging to the metaphor, as the
parts are revealed we experience the subtleties of hues and movement over
and over again, never tiring of their assertions. Each stroke is a
new discovery to be savored with each viewing." —C.L. Wysuph
