Dear Sirs, "Idealized Brushstrokes" by my Uncle, Dr. Evan Harris Walker, was given to my parents in 1966 as a gift in appreciation of my father for helping pay for his graduate school tuition at the University of Maryland. My uncle borrowed the painting for the exhibit in Zagreb and, since it remained on exhibit in various places, was never returned. The last we heard, this painting was on exhibit at the Gaia Gallery in Toronto about three weeks before my Uncle's death in 2006. After his wife, Helen Marie Walker died in 2016, I became the Personal Representative for both their estates. I tried contacting the Toronto gallery to recover the painting but never received a response. Aside from a few photographs of this painting hanging over the living room fireplace at my parent's home, I don't know that we would ever be able to prove ownership or make any kind of claim. It is possible, of course, that my Uncle just assumed ownership again and either sold or gifted the painting to the Spengler Museum. I would be very interested in hearing how the Spengler Museum came into possession. My Uncle was not only a real genius in art and science, but he was quite a scalawag as well. Thank you, Michael P. Walker

Michael P. Walker, I was wondering if Evan had painted many abstract oils on board? we THINK we might have one of his works, but all it says is "To Lauren, All my love. —Evan. Please reach out to me on Twitter: @BruisedButHere if there could be a possibility? Thanks!
