Levee Road, ca. 1950 Oil on canvas; 27 x 44 in. Ogden Museum of Southern Art Gift of Roger H. Ogden Collection 164 LOUISIANA: THE NEW CENTURY CLARENCE MILLET b. 1897, Hahnville, Louisiana d. 1959, New Orleans, Louisiana Clarence Millet, one of most important and prolific painters working in twentieth-century New Orleans, earned a national reputation. In 1943, he was one of the few southerners elected as an associate to the National Academy of Design. Millet was not an innovator but rather popularized a light-filled breezy style of Impressionism, which influenced his contemporaries and later twentieth-century southern artists. Like many of his contemporaries, he painted the picturesque architecture of the old French Quarter and the freshness of the surrounding Louisiana countryside with “a sense of motion and vigor.” SS http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=1127 http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=1127
