Artist Biography: Milton Resnick was born in Bratslav in what was then Russia on 17 January 1917 and migrated to the United States with his family in 1922. He studied at the Pratt Institute and the American Artists' School in New York in the late 1930s. After serving during the Second World War Resnick lived in Paris from 1946 to 1948. He returned to New York where he taught at the Pratt Institute during 1954 and 1955 and at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1955 to 1956. Since then he has held a number of teaching posts. It was not until 1955, at the age of thirty-eight, that the artist held his first solo exhibition at the Poindexter Gallery in New York which led some critics and writers to erroneously categorize Resnick as a 'second generation' Abstract Expressionist. The artist exhibited with a number of galleries during the 1950s and 1960s, was included in numerous group shows, and received his first major museum exhibition Milton Resnick: Selected Large Paintings at the Fort Worth Art Center Museum in Texas in 1971. The artist exhibited with the Max Hutchinson Gallery in New York from 1972 to 1982 and in 1979 established a long association with the Robert Miller Gallery in New York with whom he still exhibits regularly. A major retrospective exhibition Milton Resnick: Paintings 1945-1985 was held at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Texas, in 1985. | ||
