존 밀러(John Miller), 영국, 예술가, 1931-2002

런던에서 태어난 영국 예술가로  고향인 콘월의 해변 풍경을 목가적으로 표현한 것으로 유명해다. 그림의 대부분은 West Penwith반도와 Scilly 섬의 Tresco를 그린 것이다. 1970년대에 콘월에서 관광 판화로 값싸게 복제되는 작품을 만들어 이름을 알리기 시작했다.

 

경력을 쌓으면서 스타일의 변화를 겪었고 1990년대 중반에  값싼 포스터, 인쇄물 및 카드의 대량 생산 및 배포의 결과로 전 세계적으로 알려지게 되었다. 그는 자신의 독특한 해변 그림을 복제하여 1992년에 자신의 트레이드마크 스타일로 인식되기 시작한 첫 번째 작품을 제작했다.

 

해변 장면은 시장에서 엄청난 매력을 갖게 됐고 상징적인 이미지로 확고하게 자리 잡았으며 현재는 많이 모방되고 있다.  Miller가 2002년에 사망할 때까지 계속해서 대량으로 제작한 그림은 엄청난 인기를 얻었다.

 

국제적으로. 포스터와 대중 예술 복제품을 전문으로 하는 영국의 길거리 샵 주인 200명을 대상으로 한 2003년 조사(정기 'Art Business Today')에서 Miller는 Monet 및 LS Lowry와 함께 베스트셀러 '톱 4'에 포함되었다. 모든 장르를 통틀어 현재 가장 많이 팔린 고인이 된 예술가 목록에서 반 고흐 (7 위 ), 피카소 (8위), 마티스 (10위)를 제치고 5위를 차지했다.

John Miller was an English artist born in London who became famous for his idyllic representation of beach scenes in his home county of Cornwall. Most of his paintings were of the West Penwith peninsula and Tresco in the Isles of Scilly.

 

During the 1970s John Miller emerged as a cultural figurehead within Cornwall. He became well known as a painter of popular, Monet-like Cornish scenes (many of which were cheaply reproduced as prints for the tourist trade), as an art teacher, a television personality, a patron of local charities and an active supporter of the Church of England. He was also responsible for some high profile architectural projects including a reordering of the interior of Newlyn Art Gallery.

 

At an advanced stage in his career John Miller’s artistic style underwent a radical change and by the mid-1990s his work (but not always his name) had become known worldwide as a result of the mass production and distribution of cheap posters, prints and cards with reproductions of his distinctive beach paintings: he produced the first of these in what was to become recognised as his trademark style in 1992. The beach scenes had enormous market appeal and have become firmly established as iconic images which - now much imitated - apparently spawned a genre. The paintings themselves, which Miller continued to produce in large numbers until his death in 2002, became highly sought after and were only available through selected London galleries at successive annual exhibitions which usually sold out well before their official opening dates.

 

John Miller was elected to become a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists in 1961. John Miller, a household name in Cornwall since the mid-1970s, is an artist whose work continues to have an extremely high public profile, both in the UK and internationally. In a 2003 survey (for the periodical 'Art Business Today') of 200 United Kingdom high street gallery owners whose businesses specialised in posters and popular art reproductions, Miller was listed alongside Monet and L.S. Lowry among the ‘top-four’ best-selling landscape artists and fifth - above Van Gogh (7th), Picasso (8th), and Matisse (10th) - in a list of the current ‘top-ten’ best-selling deceased artists in all genres. John Miller’s work is currently (2004-5) the subject of academic investigation by a postgraduate student at the University of Kent, Canterbury, England.

 

John Miller's works are currently (2009) viewable and sold at New Craftsman gallery in St.Ives.
