April's August

Peter Milton is an American printmaker born in 1930 whose densely detailed engravings and etchings emerged from postwar abstraction into intricate, narrative figuration. Working primarily in intaglio techniques, he builds complex, labyrinthine compositions that combine modernist formal sophistication with dreamlike imagery drawn from literature, memory, and domestic life. His prints are characterized by meticulous cross-hatching and tonal gradation that create an almost photorealist precision within surrealist conceptual frameworks.
