John Walsh’s subject matter of mythical or legendary figures has taken him away from Aotearoa and his often East Coast topic to the character of Tonto – where is Tonto being led? This interesting lithograph brings a rawness to the work, further enhanced by the masked figures in various forms of movement. The white breathing space focuses the eye on the drama and energy of the two omunous looking people.
