With the death of painter Milton Resnick in March, modern art lost one of its last living links to the legendary era of unbridled energy and experimentation in the decades after World War II whose ideas and prime movers were collectively known as the New York School. The abstract expressionist painter, who was 87, spent time in Paris after the war soaking up Modernism's spirit at its source. Back in New York, he remained an uncompromising individualist, true to his passion for the visceral qualities of paint.
