<\/a><\/p>\nDisorder but completeness,\u00a0<\/em>a total anarchy and at the same time a universal truth.<\/em> \u00a0\u2014 MR<\/p>\n Friday, March 31, 2017, 8:00 pm<\/p>\n Behind the Door Admission: $10 at the door The painter Milton Resnick (1917-2004) would have been 100 this year. He was born in Ukraine, and fled the pogroms with his family when he was five years old, eventually settling in Brooklyn, where he lived until he left home as a teenager after his father forbade him to be an artist. In the 1930s he was on the WPA artist project, and in\u00a01940 he was drafted and served in the U.S. Army through all of World War II. After returning to New York in September 1945, Resnick immediately began painting abstractions, thereby cementing his historical position as a member of the first generation of American Abstract Expressionists. He was a founding member of the Artists\u2019 Club of the 1950s. A larger than life personality, a poet, raconteur and philosopher, he might have become one of the towering figures of 20th century painting, had he cared to embrace the public. A museum devoted to his legacy is scheduled to open this year in his studio, a defunct synagogue in Chinatown, NYC.<\/p>\n The evening will feature \u201cMilton Resnick Paints a Picture,\u201d a short film of him painting and discussing his views on\u00a0art and society, followed by a projection of paintings painted over eight separate decades.<\/p>\n Our host will be painter and writer Geoffrey Dorfman, secretary and trustee of the Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation. His awards include an NEA Grant and the National Academy\u2019s Henry Ward Ranger Prize in Painting. He contributed to Abstract Expressionism and Other Modern Works: the Muriel Kallis Newman Collection<\/em> (The Metropolitan and Yale University, 2007). He has written for Artforum and Stagebill and authored Out Of the Picture; Milton Resnick and the New York School<\/em> (Midmarch Arts Press, 2003).<\/p>\n ___________________________<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 31, 2017: MILTON RESNICK at 100: A Centenary View A remembrance and a showing of a new film, \u201cMilton Resnick Paints a Picture.\u201d Disorder but completeness,\u00a0a total anarchy and at the same time a universal truth. \u00a0\u2014 MR Friday, March 31, 2017, 8:00 pm Behind the Door 219 Court Street Brooklyn, NY 11201 Admission: […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3291"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3304,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3291\/revisions\/3304"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vpropera.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
