Milton Resnick (b. 1917, Braslav, Ukraine; d. 2004, New York) “might qualify as the last Abstract Expressionist painter,” wrote Roberta Smith, for his New York Times obituary.

Milton Resnick: Paintings 1937-1987

July 17 - December 21, 2018

The opening exhibition of The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation will be a fifty-year retrospective survey, Milton Resnick: Paintings 1937-1987. The exhibition, curated by Geoffrey Dorfman, traces the artist’s transition from his early, inventive Abstract Expressionist works, to the dense allover canvases of his maturity for which he is best known. Resnick’s thickly impastoed works, sometimes of immense proportions, reflect a faith in the evocative powers of paint itself.

Drawn largely from the Foundation’s collection, the exhibition will also include loans from private and museum collections, including rarely-seen works from the 1940s and 50s. Additional works, such as the monumental and seminal New Bride (1963) from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, will be added to exhibition in fall 2018, and remain at the Foundation on extended loan.

The exhibition will be presented on three floors of the converted synagogue, on the lower east side of New York, that served as Resnick’s stud

Milton Resnick

American abstract painter (1917–2004)

Milton Resnick (January 7, 1917 – March 12, 2004) was an American artist noted for abstract paintings that coupled scale with density of incident.^[2] It was not uncommon for some of the largest paintings to weigh in excess of three hundred pounds, almost all of it pigment.^[3] He had a long and varied career, lasting about sixty-five years. He produced at least eight hundred canvases and eight thousand works on paper and board.^[4]

He also wrote poetry on a nearly daily basis for the last thirty years of his life. He was an inveterate reader, riveting speaker and gifted teller of tales, capable of conversing with college audiences in sessions that might last three hours.

Paintings held in public collections include: New Bride, 1963 Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.,^[5]Mound, 1961 National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.,^[6]Saturn, 1976 National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario,^[7]Elephant, 1977 Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation,
