Sidney Tillim

Sidney Tillim (June 16, 1925 – August 16, 2001) was an American player and art critic, known for his maverick painting and independent narrowing of view on modern art in post-war America. Best remembered for his revival of history painting in the 1970s, Tillim alternated along with the symbolic and the abstract throughout his career. Likewise, although he wrote on a broad range of topics for Artforum and Arts Magazine, he is most identified when supporting representational art subsequently few did.
