Artist Biography
Wilfrid Taylor Mils (1912-1988) Painter, architectural designer, art educator and instructor. Mills was a native of California born 26 Aug 1912. He studied at Art Center School of Design, Los Angeles, the Federal School of Commercial Design, Minneapolis, and privately.He appears to have become active as an artist in the late 1930s or early 1940s, and worked into the 1970s painting a wide variety of representational subjects including landscapes, cityscapes and street scenes, boatyards and marinas, train stations, genre scenes and landmarks. His works were typically rendered in a modern post-impressionistic representational style marked by attention to detail and a bright, high-keyed color palette.His signature subjects were the Pacific Electric Red Cars of Southern California and Angels Flight Railway in downtown Los Angeles. Employed as an artist by the County of Los Angeles, he worked as Project Manager in the Architectural Division of the L.A. Co. Engineering Department.He was a founding member and President of the Los Angeles County Employees Art Club. He worked as a painting instructor in the New York City school district and at the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles.A regular exhibitor with the Verdugo Hils Art Association, the Los Angeles County Employees Art Association, Alumni Association of Otis Art Institute and others, his work won ten First Prize awards, seven Second Prize awards, seven Third Prize awards, one Best of Show award, one Honorable Mention award, and one Sweepstakes award.He showed his work commercially at the Kausler Gallery, Tujunga, the Harris and Frank Gallery, Glendale. His biography and general painting approach closely paralleled that of his artist friend, co-worker and painting partner Ben Abril (1923-1995), both of whom studied at Art Center School of Design and were employed as architectural designers by the County of Los Angeles.Wilfrid Mills died in Los Angeles 16 June 1988.
