A Master's Touch,
By Grady Harp (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Primacy of Touch: The Drawings of Peter Milton: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
Peter Milton has long been respected for his exquisite drawings and subsequent etchings for many years. This catalogue raisonne of his drawings offers fine evidence of why he is so widely respected.
Milton draws in black and white, creating large scale images that are excruciatingly detailed n their realism, yet he goes beyond reality and suffuses his drawings with ethereal otherworldliness as though making dreams visual. Drawing with graphite on Mylar makes much of this impossible draughtsmanship possible, though his works on paper (and in his etchings) are equally as delicate. Milton works in series: 'Country Pieces', 'La Belles et la Bete', 'Interiors', and the incomprehensibly evocative and beautiful 'The Aspern Papers' based on the work of Henry James.For each of the series in this fine book, Milton offers his written thoughts and the book opens with a thoughtful introduction by Rosellen Brown. This book is a must for Milton admirers and for anyone who appreciates the gift of drawing. Highly recommended. Grady Harp

First artist,

This review is from: The Primacy of Touch: The Drawings of Peter Milton: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
When I began collecting art in the 70's, "Jolly Corner" by American artist Peter Milton was my first print. Milton's obvious mastery of printmaking and the nostalgia his prints evoke, intrigued me then as they do today. In this book, Milton explains the reasons behind his choices for subject matter (usually literary, biographical and surrealistic) and the technical process behind his successful pieces. Interesting side note: Milton is color blind. Hence, he works only in tone.
Do not pay the current price of $230.00 for this book. I got a new copy from Amazon only a few months ago and paid less than half this price. Those who like Milton's work will also be interested in Moroccan print artist Erik Desmazières.

This review is from: The Primacy of Touch: The Drawings of Peter Milton: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
I am pleased with the very prompt delivery, as well as the thorough packing which
protected the edges of this hardcover book during transit. This beautiful art book is full of high quality plates which reveal the precise detail Milton is famous for, as well as essays which give surprising insight into the fantastic world of Milton.
