International Artist Gary Miller-Youst has achieved recognition as a heroic impressionist and muralist, with commissioned work in Zurich, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, Los Angeles, Denver, and Scottsdale. Major exhibitions that have included his work in recent years: The Bonet Museum of Modern Sculpture, and the National Gallery of Canada; have been succeeded by International Art Auctions at Fraser's of Montreal. Previously, he was the Director of Gallery Miller-Youst in Montreal from l974 to l982, and was awarded the Prix d'Or critics prize during the l976 Olympics, and his works were included at the l986 World's Fair in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Miller-Youst comes naturally by his feeling for heroic art. His grandfather, Frederick Miller, created a photographic record of the Crow Indian Nation in Montana at the turn of the Century; and was a contemporary and friend of Remington, Sharp and Russell.
A major retrospective exhibition held in Denver, l985, and televised on CBS; marked the return of Miller-Youst to his native West. The Phoenix Center for the Performing Arts inaugerated the Herberger Center with an exhibition of Miller-Youst's grandiose sculpture and murals during the National Arthritis Benefit of 1990. Painting on a grand scale, he expresses
himself through a powerful mixture of light and color through a wide range of mystical representations. A compelling force emerges from deep within the soul of his work, and his visions on canvas are reminiscent of the Renaissance Art Period.
The works of Miller-Youst (1943- ) are included in numerous Corporate and Private Collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe: Quebecor of Canada; J.Y. Forest of Zurich; Kutaq, Rock and Campbell of New York, Denver and Omaha; The Trudeau Collection of Canada; and the Courbet Collection of France.
Miller-Youst's work has appeared on both CBS television and CBC of Canada. Critical response has appeared as the following: "...Romantic, turbulent and enriching."
-Georges Bogardi and Henry Lehmann; The Montreal Star
"...A passionate serenity."
-Natasha Querard; Art International
"...Exuberant vision."
-Margorie Barret; Rocky Mountain News
-Max Price; The Denver Post.
