About the Item

Addison Thomas Millar (American, 1860-1913) Barn scene, 1892 Oil on board Signed and dated lower left 10.25 x 13.5 inches 15 x 18.5 inches, framed Addison Thomas Millar was an American painter and artist; best known for his genre scenes and Orientalist paintings. He was born to William H. Millar and Permelia Kennedy Millar. His father had emigrated to the United States from Scotland in 1845. He grew up in Warren, Ohio. During his primary education, he took some painting lessons from John Bell, a local landscape painter. In his late teens, he won three consecutive awards from The Youth's Companion, in their annual art contests. This prompted his parents to allow him to go to Cincinnati to take formal lessons from the genre painter, De Scott Evans. Following these studies, he set himself up as a portrait painter in Cleveland. By 1883, he was living in New York City, where he attended the Art Students League. In addition, he attended the Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art with William Merritt Chase. In 1894, he went to Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian with Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant and Giovanni Boldini. He remained in Europe for several years, travelling and painting. In 1895, while visiting Spain with his friend Chase, he crossed over to Algiers; a trip which would provide inspiration for many of his best known works. He held exhibits in cities across the country, including shows in Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago. He held memberships with the Society of American Artists and the National Academy of Design. He and his wife were both killed when an express train ran into their car in South Norwalk, Connecticut. In addition to the Smithsonian Institution, the New York Public Library, the Boston Museum of Fine Art and the Bibliothèque nationale de France, his work has been featured at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Library of Congress and the Rhode Island School of Design.
