Collection: Addison Thomas Millar
Addison Thomas Millar (1860–1913) was an American painter and printmaker known for his evocative depictions of landscapes, cityscapes, and scenes of daily life. Born in Warren, Ohio, Millar studied at the Art Students League of New York before continuing his education in Europe, where he was influenced by the artistic traditions of France and the Netherlands. His travels played a crucial role in shaping his artistic vision, as he sought to capture the essence of both urban and rural settings with a keen eye for atmosphere and detail.
Millar’s work is characterized by an Impressionist-inspired approach, utilizing loose, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette to depict fleeting moments in time. His etchings and paintings often focused on street scenes, pastoral landscapes, and architectural studies, reflecting his ability to blend realism with a painterly softness. Whether depicting the bustling avenues of Paris or the serene countryside of New England, Millar infused his compositions with a sense of light and movement that resonated with contemporary audiences.
As a significant figure in American Impressionism, Millar contributed to the broader movement by capturing modern life with an immediacy that aligned with the artistic trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work helped bridge the gap between European Impressionist influences and the evolving American aesthetic, offering a fresh perspective on both domestic and international subjects. Through his paintings and prints, Millar left behind a legacy that continues to be appreciated for its artistic sensitivity and historical value.
