Books : Arts & Photography : Artists, A-Z : ( M-O ) : Millais, John Everett
-
As a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, John Everett Millais (1829-1896) spearheaded one of the most radically modern artistic groups in the history of British art. Later in his career, Millais was considered an establishment figure who swapped artistic innovation for commercial gain. For the first time, this book allows us to see Millais in the context of his whole career, arguing that his late works, especially his landscapes, are as dramatic in their freshness of vision as those of his Pre-Raphaelite period. He is revealed as a complex artist with significant links to Manet, Whistler, and Sargent; and one who helped to spark a renewed interest in British eighteenth-century art.

John Everett Millais (1829-1896) was a founding member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the quintessential English gentleman artist. A Baronet and president of the Royal Academy, Millais produced some of the most famous images of his time. His first Pre-Raphaelite work, The Carpenter's Shop, had a dramatic effect on the critics; Charles Dickens famously described his portrayal of the Christ child as a "hideous, wry-necked, blubbering, red-haired boy in a night-gown." Author Christine Riding analyzes his artistic career, his critics, and his audience, exploring the broader issues that preoccupied his contemporaries on the subject of art itself.

A handsome large-format monograph on the career and major work of the most successful British painter of the Victorian era. Now in paperback, featuring 55 fine color reproductions. John Everett Millais (1829-96) was a child prodigy who entered the Royal Academy at the unprecedented age of eleven; he later rose to prominence as one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In the view of the illustrious writer John Ruskin, he was ``the most powerful of them all.'' He achieved fame and wealth as the painter of some of the era's most popular pictures; he was equally at home with historical, literary, and religious themes as well as landscapes, genre paintings, and society portraits. His private life was considered scandalous (he ran off with Ruskin's wife), yet he rose to the highest ranks of British society. This elegant monograph celebrates the life and work of the great Pre-Raphaelite master, presenting 55 color reproductions of his finest work. Russell Ash's many works on art include The Impressionists and Their Art and Toulouse Lautrec: The Complete Posters. 96 pp 7 1/2 x 10 55 color illustrations

First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals. This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar interested in Victorian book illustration. Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. He is the author of Victorian Illustrated Books 1850-1870 - The Heyday of Wood-Engraving (British Museum Press, 1994) and Victorian Illustration - The Pre-Raphaelites, The Idyllic School and The High Victorians (Scolar Press, 1996). Co-Published with the Private Libraries Association and The British Library. Sales rights North and South America. Available in June 2005.
