Sam Middleton, American by birth, has lived and worked in the Netherlands since early 1962; initially in Amsterdam and then in Oterleek in North Holland. He has been called the first modern African-American artist in the Low Countries. Among others by art critic Frans Duister, who describes his abstract expressionist work as 'music for the eyes'. Because the echo of great jazz musicians such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie and other celebrities from Middleton's youth plays through his work, like a broad undercurrent that determines the 'sound' of his oeuvre. Middleton exhibited in renowned galleries such as Galerie Hüsstege in Den Bosch (1980) and Galerie Aelbrecht in Rotterdam (1983), and in the Singer Museum in Laren (1988).
