Celebrating Music,
Love and Life
The Art of Milt Rochman
By Fred Szabries
Milt finds that
music brings joy
to his subjects.
I t is easy to see by his
colors and brush strokes
that Milt Rochman is a
painter. However, Milt’s artistry
goes far beyond his paintings. His
prolific works on canvas convey
those things in life that he values
most. Although he is in his early
80’s, Milt paints every day. After
coffee and breakfast, he heads to
his studio, where he works until
he takes a nap before dinner, after
which he returns to paint some
more. His images of dancers,
lovers, lyrical instruments and
more flow from his creative mind
to a multitude of blank canvases he
keeps stacked in his studio.
