Peter Milton: Complete Prints, 1960-1996 by Johnson, Robert Flynn. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780811813976.

Peter Milton is one of Americas most intriguing artists. His black-and-white figurative etchings and engravings are at once surreal, erotic, and technically complex. This fascinating volume showcases all of Miltons etchings to date, from 1960 to the present, including two extensive series that illustrate the Henry James masterworks The Jolly Corner and The Aspern Papers. The etchings, many of which are accompanied by details enlarged to actual size, are illuminated by an in-depth introduction by curator Robert Flynn Johnson. Providing added insight into Miltons career and techniques are a fascinating interview between Johnson and Milton and Miltons essay about his famous Daylilies and Nijinsky Variations series and the inspirations behind them. A biography and bibliography complete this rich portfolio.
