In Search of Lost Time: Peter Milton Prints

In Search of Lost Time is the title of a 2006 print by Peter Milton, which comes from an English translation of French author Marcel Proust’s monumental novel À la recherche du temps perdu, published between 1913 and 1927. As the title of the exhibition, it fittingly alludes to the enigmatic and fantastical narratives for which Milton is known in his elaborately detailed, large-scale etchings. Combining the real and surreal, Milton places photographic rendering of figures amidst soft-focused, ethereal atmospheres that seem like a dream. Works from his early period of the 1960s and ‘70s appear with more recent work.
