Peter Milton

Peter Winslow Milton (born 1930) is a colorblind American artist who was diagnosed with deuteranopia after hearing a comment about the pink in his landscapes.

[1] Milton's black and white etchings and engravings often display photorealistic detail with a visionary aesthetic.

His themes include architecture, history, myth, and memory, and their intersections and hidden juxtapositions.

They often compress long periods of time into a single moment, as in "Family Reunion" and "The Train from Munich.

Two major book collections of his work have been published: The Primacy of Touch: The Drawings of Peter Milton (New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1993) and Peter Milton: Complete Prints 1960-1996 (San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 1996).
