What a treat my final stop in the LES last week was, and what a discovery. If you've never visited the relatively new (3-4 years old) Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation on Eldridge Street, I highly recommend going. Once a synagogue, Resnick lived and painted in it until he died. His large studio and bedroom have been converted to exhibition spaces. Towards the end of his life, when arthritis prohibited him from moving much, Resnick converted a small room off his bedroom into a studio and this room, with all its stuff has been preserved just as he'd left it. What a transporting experience to witness his painting world! But even more transporting were his paintings. The two large horizontals actually made me cry. No photo can do justice to the layers of deep emotional experience embedded in their rich paint. Upstairs are lovely small pieces by Passlof that were impossible to photograph because of glare and reflections, and in the lobby was an interesting show that paired Jane Freilicher and Thomas Nozkowski.
