Clarence Millet
Clarence Millet (Ameri-can/Louisiana 1897-1959) "Beyond Flows the Mississippi" oil on canvas signed lower right signed and titled en verso 30 in. x 35 in. in a period frame. Note: Louisiana artist Clarence Millet (1897-1959) painted scenes of the French Quarter rural Mississippi and the Mississippi River batture. Works from the latter group are among his most developed and mature compositions. "Beyond Flows the Mississippi " the painting offered here dramatically conveys the breeze off the river through the arc of the trees and the moss blowing in the wind. The dramatic sky is characteristic of his batture works as shown in paintings in the collections of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and The Historic New Orleans Collection. Millet's depiction of the budding trees and fresh green grass evoke spring while the sky and wind suggest a coming rain storm. The building of houses on the batture land became common throughout the depression-era and continued through the middle of the 20th century. The fact that the land was technically owned by the government meant that building there was tax-free if not strictly legal. Many of the batture dwellers would take advantage of the fertile soil that was inundated with river water in the springtime and create small gardens near their houses. Eventually the "batture dwellers" were forced to leave their homes and find legal housing; most of the homes have since been demolished although a few examples still exist on the Mississippi River at the Jefferson Parish line.
