David Milne (1882-1953) was a Canadian painter and also printmaker understood for his contributions to contemporary art. Birthed in the community of Burgoyne, Ontario, Milne grew up in a country setting and also developed a love of nature and also the landscape, which would later on end up being main styles in his job.

Milne started his artistic training at the Art Students League in New York in 1901, where he studied under musicians such as William Merritt Chase and Robert Henri. He later relocated to Europe to study at the Académie Julian in Paris, where he was subjected to the works of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.

In the years that complied with, Milne established his own style, defined by strong colors and simplified types. He was specifically curious about the interplay between light as well as shadow, and also he usually repainted landscapes with brilliant, contrasting colors to capture the impacts of light on the environment.

During World War I, Milne served as an official battle artist for the Canadian federal government, generating a series of paints as well as drawings that caught the devastation of the conflict. After the battle, he went back to Canada and also settled in the community of Palgrave, Ontario, where he continued to paint and also draw.

Milne's work was not right away accepted by the Canadian art globe, which at the time was controlled by the Group of Seven, a cumulative of landscape painters who stressed the rugged and wild facets of the Canadian landscape. Milne, by contrast, focused on the much more tranquil and also pastoral aspects of the natural world.

In spite of this first resistance, Milne's job eventually gained acknowledgment and he ended up being an important figure in Canadian art. He exhibited his work extensively throughout Canada as well as the United States, as well as was the topic of a significant retrospective at the National Gallery of Canada in 1955, 2 years after his death.

Today, Milne is thought about among Canada's essential modern musicians, and also his job is kept in significant collections around the globe, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, as well as the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His influence can be seen in the job of many Canadian musicians that complied with in his footsteps, including Tom Thomson, Lawren Harris, and also Emily Carr.
