Milton Holm

Milton W. Holm, mainly known as a significant painter in Rochester, New York, was active in the Rochester Art Club* and served as president of the Genesee Group of Painters*, formerly known as the Geneseeans.  This group of representational painters sought to capture the Spirit of Place while rendering their regional landscapes, and was dedicated to resist European modernism.

During the Great Depression, Holm maintained an active exhibition schedule at the National Academy of Design*, and later he became involved with the Rationalists*, who organized in 1939, also in Rochester.  Their aim was "orderly creation and craftsmanship plus individuality."

Beginning in 1938 Holm exhibited with Allied Artists of America*.  Later in his career, Holm was still active in the Rochester art world, as president of the Rochester Art Club between 1957 and 1959.

 As late as 1968 he was exhibiting at the NAD and with Allied Artists of America until 1971.
