- Milton Resnick was born in Bratslav, Russia in 1917. He immigrated to the United States in 1922. Resnick is known for his large, thickly painted abstract canvases, which were first exhibited, in the early 1950s. He is one of the few survivors of the second generation Abstract Expressionists. Like other painters of the time, Resnick was striving for an overall quality for his paintings, a way to unite the foreground and background. While others moved toward throwing or dragging quantities of paint across the face of the canvas, Resnick retained a particularly personal and impassioned confrontation with brush painting. "The activity of paint is such that you cannot keep your eye still, and yet it's contained."
