Description

Giclee prints on canvas or paper of Billboards 1912 by David B.Milne

David Brown Milne, painter, print maker, writer (born 8 January 1882 in Burgoyne, ON; died 26 December 1953 in Bancroft, ON). The youngest of 10 children born to Presbyterian Scottish immigrants, Milne’s training and initial recognition took place in New York. In Canada he was practically unknown until 1934, and he did not receive the same attention as the Group of Seven, his contemporaries, until recent years. Succeeding generations of artists have generally given him (or Tom Thomson) the highest acclaim among Canadian painters. He is usually singled out by foreign curators and critics as our foremost painter. Clement Green berg, the American art critic, thought Milne was, with American painters John Marin and Marsden Hartley, among the three most important artists of his generation in North America. The British Museum has been quietly acquiring his work in recent years.
