John Everett Millais, Glen Birnam, 1891
Should an artist try to develop a unique, distinctive style or brand look? Not according to the Victorian painter
John Everett Millais (British, 1829-1896).
John Everett Millais, The Mistletoe Gatherer
In his 1888 essay
Thoughts on our Art of Today, he said: "A varied manner must be cultivated. I believe that however admirably he may paint in a certain method, or however perfectly he may render a certain class of subject, the artist should not be content to adhere to a speciality of manner or method. A fine style is good, but it is not everything—it is not absolutely necessary."
