Milt Kobayashi

Milt Kobayashi (Born 1950) is active/lives in New York.  Milt Kobayashi is known for Interiors, child genre and figure painting, illustration.

Milt Kobayashi's work has been referred to as ethereal.  Kobayashi is increasing his use of light, reflected in the thoughtful gleam of a woman's facial expression; exposing naked intimacy in his moody interior scenes.  Kobayashi's subjects are people from another time and place and, yet, they are strangely familiar.  Kobayashi's people are mysterious, lonely, romantic and yet recognizable.

As a young illustrator working in New York City, Milt Kobayashi frequented the Metropolitan Museum of Art to study the masters - Sargent, Chase, Duvanek, and Vuillard.  Even today, as a successful painter, he returns to the museum often to spend time with the artists of the 18th and 19th century who have influenced his own work.  Most recently, revisiting William Merritt Chase helped him resolve problems with larger paintings.  He also studied the works of Whistler, Chase and Sargent, who were also influenced by Velazquez.
