Milton Resnick, Untitled c. 1959
“Resnick 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.” Jerald Melberg
