MILTON WILSON (American 1923 - 2004) was one of the co-founders of the New Gallery for Contemporary Art which was open from 1959-1962 in Portland.
It was important for the time because it dealt only with contemporary art. Wilson was influenced by action painters. His style was forceful, dynamic, creative, and sometimes had a decorative quality. He had little interest in landscape, but stated that "all paintings are still-lifes or landscapes."
His early works were mainly still-lifes for which he used a cool palette.
Later his paintings became more emotional and abstract, with an almost Mediterranean sensibility to color.
He was a professor in the art department at Portland State University in 1974.
Although he lived in several cities in his lifetime, Milton died in Portland in 2004 leaving behind a strong artistic legacy.
The largest collection of artwork by Milton Wilson is held at The Portland Art Museum. Other artwork are held at The Oakland Museum of Art, Yale University, Reed College, University of Oregon, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University and in several notable private and corporate collections.
He was a student of Louis Bunce (American 1907-1983).
More detailed information on the artist can be found on the Portland Art Museum Website.
