Miller Brittain was born in Saint John,
New Brunswick, 12 Jan 1912; died Saint John, 21 Jan 1968. Canadian
painter. He studied from 1930 to 1932 at the Art Students' League, New York.
While there he was particularly influenced by the personality and teaching
of Harry Wickey (1892-1968), who encouraged him to abandon his original
intention of becoming a commercial artist and to concentrate instead on
fine art, although Brittain did not begin to work in oil or tempera-oil
mixed media until 1938.
