Milne, << mihln, >> David Brown (1882-1953), was an important Canadian painter. Milne is best known for creating simplified arrangements of flattened forms with short, broken brushstrokes. Milne primarily painted landscapes and still lifes, using either oil paint or water colors. He also made many color prints using a method called drypoint etching.
Milne was born near Paisley, Ontario. In 1904, he moved to New York City to study art. Several of his works were displayed there in the Armory Show of 1913, a famous exhibit of American and European modern art. Milne lived and painted mostly in rural New York from 1919 to 1928, when he returned permanently to Canada.
