As one of the youngest and considered by many to be one of the most gifted WPA Artists, Agnes Mills continued producing and innovating as a fine artist throughout her life. “She draws like an angel,”
remarked Hans Hoffman. Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, David Siqueiros, Hans Hoffman, Mies Van Der Roe, Krishna Reddy, supported her vision of 'creating the sense of motion... in a fugue-like rhythm” 'in oils, pen and brush, lithography, viscosity and further printmaking techniques, bronze casting, welding, murals, frescos, animation, batik and computer drawing.
The richness, depth and breadth of Agnes Mills’ work places her in the first ranks of Contemporary 20th Century Artists. Shown in established galleries and nationally recognized museums throughout her career, Mills was committed to social engagement and the mentoring of young artists long beyond her WPA period.
As Resident Artist for the Alwyn Nikolais Dance Company for over a quarter century, and rehearsal artist at Alvin Ailey, Paul Taylor, Elisa Monte, Yoriko Kikuchi, and Jacob’s Pillow companies, her paintings, prints, sculpture and drawings of the moving figure were acclaimed at Lincoln Center, New York Public Library, City Center Gallery, and numerous universities and galleries throughout the area.
Agnes Mills created art and continued to explore new medium up until shortly before her death in 2008. Eight years earlier, she wrote of her on-going connection: “Even the trees and the skies dance for me… and things and people, young and old, are still beautiful and challenging.”
