Emil Milan
American, 1922 - 1985
Emil Milan (1922-1985) was an American woodworker and sculptor, known for his innovative work in the field of turned-wood objects. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Milan began his artistic career in the 1940s as a painter before discovering his passion for woodworking.
Milan is known for his organic forms, which he achieved through a combination of hand-carving and turning techniques. His work often incorporated elements of nature, such as vines, leaves, and flowers, and he was particularly renowned for his lidded vessels and bowls.
In addition to his work as a sculptor, Milan was also an influential teacher, and he taught woodworking and crafts at several institutions, including the Peters Valley Craft Center in New Jersey and the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina.
Milan's work is held in the collections of many major museums and galleries, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.
