Artist

Walter John James

Walter John James is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A quiet hand behind the watercolor craze, Walter John James painted delicate English gardens and domestic still lifes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. See how he layered petals in “Spring Flowers” or framed a single bay bough against a pale sky in “A Branch of Bay,” both kept in watercolor. Notice the way the leaf veins hold the light—like lace on paper. Want to trace how everyday blooms became art? Tap “Spring Flowers” next.
