Why did Milton Resnick commit suicide?

Answer 1

I live in England and I have only ever been able to see his work in reproduction but I have been most impressed by its seriousness. However, as a thirty-seven year old painter it does seem to me that painting is no longer on any committed level at all a part of "culture". Milton Resnick was a very genuine, but much older painter and perhaps he felt it is a different world altogether now - incapable of appreciating or reciprocating anything with his achievements now that painting is so much more a secret sort of Shangri-La, which he knew about but who else? At his age he might have felt nobody took an interest and he may have felt no possibility of a relationship vis a vis digital and photographic culture. Perhaps he was feeling in need of some dignity. Maybe he was not even only sad. There could have been some serenity in it. I don't know how he did it. Most Sincerely, Anthony Seymour
