Thank you for loving this work with us. Francine

Thanks for filming. What a fantastic show. Thanks Kate 😁♥️

[@thirdrockjul2224]

Thank you Kate

[@benzuckerman]

So much talent in America, as so ably demonstrated by the group of singers that open the video...

[@rickyhouston6878]

Wow! These works really get to the soul. His poem you read out at the end sums up how painting can get past what you think you want to paint, it comes from deeper than the conscious brain, he achieved that. So appropriate that you read that out. Thanks for showing!

I met Milton Resnick when he was guest instructor at the blossom Art summer program at Kent State in 1973. Nice guy- had some cool stories and a sweet white pitbull. Said a painting was finished when the weight of the paint on the canvas got to be too much. These are very nice.

Thank you Kate, thank you everybody. Sad to say but the frame of the paintings are the best part of the work.

[@bebop54]

[@konstantinkonstantinov2362]

Great exibitions! Thank you James!

[@bearbait7405]

Thank you.

[@cjhodge6181]

Really enjoyed the works on paper. Thanks from Saskatchewan.

[@kaivrock]

Your close ups are fantastic. And thanks for the description of his technique which I always wondered about. Much like Al Held during his impasto period. He used ground glass and it looks like there's a granular element to the paint here or grounding the pigment coarsely and using minimal linseed oil.

Very interesting work. Great Frames! Love the videos James!

[@scottgarrison9558]

Thanks, a great show from beginning to end.... I thought of many comments to make but don't want to write a book here. I plan to make a trip to NY soon, hopefully in the fall to see this wonderful building and the art in it.

I really like Resnick's works. Thank you Mr. Calm. When I first saw them, they reminded me a little bit of lava landcape, vast lava areas as i know them in Iceland. I read somewhere that Resnick served in Iceland for some time in WW2. Maybe it had an impact.

[@kareymaurice3236]

Great coverage as usual.

[@reaganwiles_art]

Awesome

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

Gorgeous painting

[@LastTrainToClarkson]

Read that Resnick paintings are heavy. Wonder if CHEIM & READ have considered selling them by the pound?

[@bobbywilson319]

These dark pieces on cardboard, I believe you said, reminds me of Beauford Delaney's late work...not in palette but the brushwork... the form...although Resnick's work, I believe, is a bit thicker in application. To be honest, I can't get Beauford's late abstract work, nor do I get these. I can't seem to get a place or entry point or an understanding of the work into which I can enter. So I stand perplexed by them. The second half of this video...the work on paper I can really appreciate. It is just that all over dark stuff or thick paint stroke paintings that I can't understand. What as a viewer am I supposed to be getting or looking at? So does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into the work?

[@reaganwiles_art]

I'd really like to read Out Of the Picture, but the cheapest copy I could find was $200.

[@jhb61249]

Milton produced very nice work. His figurative pieces take on qualitis of work by his wife Pat Passlof and vise versa. I miss them both. I believe Milton said he could care less about color, comparing himself to Pat who was very particular about color, and he just loved paint and loved wasting it. He further said he had nothing to say but the paint says it all. With all the chatter in art in recent years, it's nice to see art with no rhymes, riddles, or statements.

[@michaellawson2797]

James is the resnick pasloff foundation free to see

[@jameskalm]

Yes. They are unfortunately, closed due to the Covid-19 "Lock_Down" until further notice...

[@claireseyeviewonredbubble]

Like Pollock on valium

[@democratictotalitariansoci1462]

those look like bunch of visual insults.

[@adriancarroll6995]

De Kooning used to shave Miltons back. Lots of booze involved.

[@pbr2805]

I love the contrast from dark to light. Just kidding. Art was about light and dark values once a time. Not here.

[@syb2965]

Might as well stare at mud.

[@Londyn682]

He saturated cardboard squares with water and threw them into his attic.

[@TODDZEN]

Very ugly looking paintings.
