He studied art at the Brooklyn Museum Art School under Ben Shahn, Reuben Tam and Gregorio Prestopino. He also spent a summer studying art at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine."About six or seven years after completing his art studies, sometime in the early 1960s, Williams moved to Copenhagen, Denmark. He returned briefly to the United States, where he completed a body of work informed by the experiences of being an African American living in the South. It was while he was in Copenhagen, however, that he created a series of colorful woodcuts of black children playing in fields of flowers. Walter Williams died in Copenhagen in June 1998."
