Milton Resnick (1917-2004)
Born in Russia, Milton Resnick arrived in New York City in 1922 at age five. He studied under Hans Hofmann and worked alongside fellow abstract expressionists, Ad Reinhardt, Willem de Kooning and Elaine Fried. A painter known for impastoed, nearly monochromatic canvases, Resnick's mature works came in the late 1950's, when his obsession with paint and his admiration for Cézanne and Monet gelled. He began to let his expanses of quick Impressionistic brushwork build into encrusted surfaces dominated by a single color presenting enveloping expanses that were at once lyrical and anxious.
His works are held in the collections of many museums including the National Gallery of Art, the Walker Art Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, Princeton University Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others.
