Acquisition Number: 1989-13 Acquisition: Transferred to the Archives from the Cranbrook Academy of Art via transfer Jul-Aug 1989. Photocopied material and correspondence re the Aloe Plaza fountain commission was a gift of the Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis, Missouri, October 1987. Access: Access to the collection is unrestricted. Copyright: Copyright to this collection is held by the Cranbrook Educational Community. Preferred Citation: Carl Milles Papers, Cranbrook Archives, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Photographs: Moved to special photograph collection. Index: See end of finding aid. Processing: Gregg T. Trendowski, 1989. Collection was re-processed and finding aid updated by Jill Griffiths, July 2004. History Carl Emil Wilhelm Anderson was born 23 June 1875 at Orby in Lagga near Upsala, Sweden. He was the eldest son and second child of Lt. Emil (Mille, hence Milles’ adopted name) Anderson and his wife, Walborg Tissel. Milles lived at a boarding house in Stockholm while attending the Jacobskala (1885-1892). When he left school he was apprenticed to a cabinet maker/wood worker and attended night classes (1892-1897) in woodwork, and later in carving and modeling. After this period of work-study, he attended the technical school full time and was awarded a prize of 200 kroner from the Swedish Arts and Crafts Society. He then accepted a position to help manage a school of Swedish gymnastics in Santiago, Chile. However, upon reaching Paris on his way to Marseilles (en route) to South America he changed his plans. Milles remained in Paris until 1904, attempting to support himself with work jobbed out by master cabinetmakers, while continuing to teach himself modeling and trying to establish professional recognition as a sculptor.

  • Milles Carl Facts
    Contact: Steve Hoffman, Director of Public Relations and Marketing 248 645.3064, [email protected] Carl Milles (1875-1955) In 1931 Swedish sculptor Carl Milles came to Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan as its first sculptor-in-residence. He stayed at Cranbrook with his wife Olga until 1951. The Academy was formally founded in 1932 with architect Eliel Saarinen as its first president. Cranbrook Academy of Art is a 150-student graduate program that grants master of fine arts degrees in nine disciplines as well as master of architecture degrees. At Saarinen’s recommendation, Cranbrook founder George Booth enticed Milles to Cranbrook, and Booth ultimately agreed to purchase a significant selection of his work in 1934. Strategically placed by Saarinen and Booth around Cranbrook’s 319-acre campus, the bronze mythical figures created by Milles became nodal forms between the architecture and landscape. His sculptures are anthropomorphic elements that contrast with the simple geometric structures and surrounding sweep and color of Cranbrook’s National Historic Landmark campus. At approximately 80 pieces, Cranbrook has the second largest collection of Milles sculptures outside Millesgarden, the home of Carl and Olga Milles near Stockholm, Sweden. Millesgarden was built in 1908, the same year Cranbrook founders George and Ellen Booth built their arts and crafts manor home Cranbrook House in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Among the most visible Carl Milles Cranbrook sculptures are: • Jonah and the Whale, at the north end of Academy Way, and his first American work, 1932 • Orpheus Fountain, in front of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum, 1936 • Tritons and Mermaids, outside Cranbrook Institute of Science, 1930s • Triton Pools outside Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum, ca.

Interior designer Lynda Charfoos gave the residence an update that respects Cranbrook tradition. All furniture in the house — including the black upholstered seating and end tables — are courtesy of Knoll. Lighting is courtesy of Arkitektura. “It’s hard contemporary in a historical setting,” Charfoos says. The dining-room table and chairs are Saarinen. Charfoos chose a subtle palette that would highlight works by students and artists-in-residence. original works include: a green spaceframe by Scott Klinker, a raw-steel Parsons table (beneath the arched window) by Robert Laskey, a car-chassis photo (in the dining room) by Liz Cohen, and a black-and-white laser cutout (at far right) by Heather McGill. French doors lead to a courtyard that’s often used for events.

It’s adjacent to the museum-quality Saarinen House. opposite: doors lead from the living room to the studio, where Milles worked. It remains a studio/work space today.
