Modern Master
Milton Derr
(1932)

Over nearly four decades, Milton Derr has explored the character of black men as a subject. His objective has never been a simple depiction of a stereotypical black male. Instead, he has striven to paint the complex inner struggle which a man--irrespective of race-- must undergo in order to fully become himself. Milton Derr (b. 1932, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) studied at the Layton School of Art, Milwaukee, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Independent Group of Painters and Sculptors, Tokyo, Japan.

Maya Freelon’s paintings and digital hybrids were most recently included in an exhibition called ‘The Body Show’ at the Craven Art Gallery in Durham, North Carolina. Numerous critics commented on Freelon’s work, including Louis St. Lewis from Metro Magazine, who stated, “Maya Freelon is definitely an artist to watch”.
