Milton Resnick Paintings 1958-63 at CHEIM & READ

James Kalm is privileged to bring viewers this glimpse of the work of one of New York's most seminal and influential painters. Milton Resnick inhabits a unique territory in local painting history. Although a contemporary of the Abstract Expressionists, and the "New York School," Resnick pursued a personal vision that set a precedent for color field and Minimal painting yet remained unaffiliated with mere movements. This show tracks his transition and arrival at the mature artistic statement for which he is known.

Swan is amazing. Resnicks book Out of The Picture is really good for anyone who wants to know more. these are important paintings...thanks mr. calm monk

Geoff Dorfman, the second guy I interview, is the authou of "Out of the Picture" and a cover article on Resnick that appeared in ARTFORUM in the 70s. He's also an interesting painter in his own right

Nice. What I like about you James is you actually look at the work, whereas most people who go to openings just wanna chat with their arty chums and drink plonk. I need to go to NYC to see some of these shows.

Undoubtedly, my career would have gone a lot farther if I did more chatting and less looking and thinking, thanks JK

@jameskalmroughcut Ooops, with over 750 vids posted, I sometimes get confused.

@jeffreycollins Resnick was likely the first to break with artstores. He purchased a 3 roll mill and pony mixer in 1979. About 8 of us made paint using them on a cooperative basis for about 5 years, at the end of which, Williamsburg Paint and RGH Oil paint took over. Milton often used fine oils and junk in tandem. - geoff dorfman

does anyone know where i can buy prints of this works?

[mccordart]

Loved it! Beautiful work. It was great to hear from a couple of people who knew him. I love the fact that for Milton it wasn't about the process of painting technically but, about the process of creating.

What the fuck do you mean with that first sentence? It's incoherent.

And of course most of theses people are going there to commune with others. There's nothing wrong with that.

Good description, WORK not ART

[legija83]

This painting in universe is not represented, therefore it is not an art.

Oh...

Most of these people are not there for the "art", rather for the show (like that materialistic bimbo).
