Milton by Him
Milton’s apology is so particular, one with strong personal opinion and esteem. I fee like most men and women could not pass with this kind of work, but its Milton, and his gifts were truly that grand and he had that awareness of maintaining his obedience by performing his gifts. It is very interesting to look more deeply into the idea of Lucian Freud’s art where most people, if in doubt, are meant only to find their direction somewhere else. Lucian Freud’s study of psychoanalysis in artists, that their work can portray the person who made, even the connections between artist and spectator, is a very cool concept that can take Milton into another perspective. Being able to unearth an artist’s deepest psychological motivations through his artwork is incredible. What is interesting is that Milton has uprooted it himself, he knows his motivations and is true to his psyche and to every spectator. His art, through writing and oratory, portrays himself personally as well as intellectually, because to Milton these went hand in hand. He was confident in his value, in his credentials, and that makes an Apology that cannot be undone.

I think you would enjoy William Kerrigan’s “The Sacred Complex” very much. Take a look. Kerrigan writes with great sensitivity and intelligence about the ways in which Milton’s art and belief testify to his drive for personal wholeness.
