BIOGRAPHY: Mylo Quam was best known for his distinctive oil paintings which blend his strong background in mythology, the classics and religion, with a unique style of expression influenced by his notable wit, intelligence and eroticism. His diverse work, as shown by many of the images on this website, range from light and whimsical, to dense and intensely disturbing. Quam was a self-taught artist with a strong background in Greek and Classical Studies. He was awarded a scholarship in Greek Studies at the age of sixteen to Brandies University. At seventeen he worked as a translator of Greek plays. Quam studied Classics at Brandies, Boston, and New York Universities. He designed sets and costumes for theatre companies including the Actor's Playhouse in NYC, and for ballets including the Lucas Hoving Ballet Company and the Opera Municipal de Marseilles, France. He also created illustrations for The Story of O, published by Grove Press in 1970 and created a series of lithographs in 1975 based on the poem of Rimbaud, Une Saison En Enfer (A Season in Hell).Mylo Quam had a successful career as an actor on television, and on and off-Broadway for the better part of his twenties. He was cast in a leading role in Royal Hunt of the Sun, on Broadway. He shared the stage with actors that included Jessica Tandy, Katherine Hepburn, and Christopher Plummer. In the late sixties he left the stage and focused primarily on his painting.Quam's paintings and collages have been exhibited in many prominent galleries in New York City, San Francisco, Key West and Woodstock.Mylo Quam lived with his partner of 32 years, actor/sculptor Miles Baron, in the Woodstock region from 1965 to 1996. Quam was admired for his controversial and humorous style evidenced in his paintings and collages. Shakespeare, Eastern and Western religion, classics, mythology, the occult, politics and pop culture inspired his provocative figural work. He created 761 oils and collages during his lifetime. Quam's work was described as "visually dense, sometimes disturbing, often erotically charged, and providing an interpretive challenge to viewers."
