Seeing Is Creating in Mark Milroy’s Art
HUDSON, New York — I first heard about Mark Milroy from the poet Douglas Crase in 2015, when he sent me his essay about sitting for a portrait by the artist in 2013. In the essay, published in Tether magazine, Crase wrote: “Milroy […] can be said to outflank expressionism by containing its intense choreography in the diagnostic grace of the neglected English painter Cedric Morris.” The image piqued my interest, and Crase’s reference to Morris deepened it. Morris was Lucien Freud’s teacher, and his influence can be seen in the latter’s early paintings (which I prefer to the later, more celebrated ones). Morris’s work projects an oddness that manifests as a deeply felt sense of reticence. I suspected that Milroy shared some of this spirit, but all I had seen so far was one reproduced painting and could find little else on him.
