In December, 2017, Walter Meyer was stabbed in the heart with a kitchen knife by his wife, Sophia. Dubbed ‚South Africa’s own van Gogh‘ and critically acclaimed as the finest landscape artist to emerge from this country in the last century, his brutal death left a deep void. Written by his brother, Frans, along with rare insights from Walter’s rehab journals, Impossible Skies explores the artist’s roots, his genius as a painter and a poignant relationship between two brothers.
