Portrait of Asian Man – Oil on Board – Milton Koslow – circa 1952
When Charleston artist Milton Koslow passed away in 2007 he left behind many friends and a treasure trove of fabulous art. I was fortunate enough to come upon these four portraits done by Koslow in the early 1950’s.
Milton Koslow was a lawyer by trade but always at heart was an artist. His leadership help spur the development of Gallery Eleven in Charleston and he was active in Allied Artists. He served a member of the board of directors at Sunrise.
I also have some later work by Milton, but these portraits demonstrate his ability to convey a level of emotion through his art which escapes many artists.
