Raoul Millais

Raoul Millais

Raoul Millais (1901-1999) was a portrait painter, equestrian artist and sportsman. He was the grandson of Sir John Everett Millais. From his father and grandfather he inherited both his artistic talent and his love of animals and of hunting. [ The Independent Obituary of Raoul Millais 23/11/2008 ]

His father, John Guille Millais, was an artist, soldier, naturalist, hunter, writer and explorer. Raoul followed his father in each of these roles. He is best known for his equestrian paintings and for his Spanish work, created when he accompanied Ernest Hemingway. [ [http://www.horsham.gov.uk/your_area/News/news_3438.asp Horsham News] ] . Like his friend Alfred Munnings, Millais was an opponent of Modernism in art, which he called "the Picasso lark". [ [http://www.horsham.gov.uk/your_area/News/news_3438.asp Horsham News] ] .

He died in 1999 in his 99th year in Oxfordshire, England
