Michael Young is an artist from Kansas City. He was born in 1952 in Kansas City, Kansas and studied at the Salina Area Technical College, the Art Student’s League, Salamagundi Club, and took private anatomy lessons with Bill Weltman. His work is at the Cooper Union Museum.    The Master of Modern Nostalgia! "The painter's brush consumes his dreams," wrote William Butler Yeats in 1919. Yeat's insight holds true today and is well represented by the unique and distinctive art of Michael Young. Micheal's lithographs capture a feel and texture of marble polished art deco evenings filled with smoke cutting glances across neon cocktails. His acclaimed paintings focus on the sophisticated subtleties of urban life balanced with an unblinking architect's perfection and an artist's intellect. This wit-shrouded intellect is the focal point of Michael Young's creations. His art cleverly conveys you into the moment of captured time on canvas. You are somehow linked to the details of the moment through the people, their dress, the buildings, and most of all... the magic and grand elegance of America's 1930's and '40s. Until 1993, Micheal's acrylic paintings and serigraphs were exclusively represented by Newbury Fine Art of Boston, The Mill Pond Press of Venice, Florida, and Dyansen Galleries throughout the United States.
