"Milhazes is a visual omnivore, she celebrates color and is willing to embrace excess. That goes against the sensibilities of the mainstream, especially the chromophobes. But she's working with vocabulary we haven't seen since the early days of abstraction, which takes all the way back to [Wassily] Kandinsky."
