Milton Resnick exhibition, video



Everyone who loves painting knows who Milton Resnick is. We are fortunate to be able to see an exhibition of his work from 1958-1963, including some very large pieces, at Cheim Read in New York. The show opened on May 1 and continues through June 14.

There is a also nice in-depth movie of Mr. Resnick in his later years talking and working in his studio. It really is amazing to see the white bearded elder grunting and groaning as he applies paint to a number of huge works in progress. He has so many interesting things to say that I think you will see it is well worth signing up at learner.org to view this video.
