Biography
Milton Wilson 1923 - 2004
"The athletic, boundary-pushing dynamism of abstract expressionism was perfectly suited to Mr. Wilson's protean talent, and for a time he was considered one of the region's best painters, landing a solo show at the Portland Art Museum in 1973 and taking part in a famous 1974 exhibit, 'Art of the Pacific Northwest' at the Smithsonian Institution. Still, Mr. Wilson never stopped painting. Last year, his Portland dealer, the Pulliam Deffenbaugh Gallery, exhibited more than two dozen works from his art of the past 30 years. The show's movement, color and painterly virtuosity was a fitting testament to Mr. Wilson's restless talent and will to create." D. K. Row, The Oregonian, June 10, 2004
