Abraham Adolphe Milich (1884, Tyszowce – 1964, Paris) was a Jewish French painter of the School of Paris,[1] and art collector. The subject-matter of his art is the Mediterranean landscape, of Provence, Venice and Palestine, and also portraits and still life.
Early life and training
Milich was born in Tyszowce, Poland, in 1884, the son of Serka (née Azenman) and Moszek Milich,[2] and began his career as a signwriter at the age of thirteen. A fire devastated his father's shop, leading him to work as a teacher in Lodz to support his family, and in the process discovered an interest in art. He attended the school of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1902 Milich entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich where his student number was 02454.[3] He took drawing lessons from Professor Georg von Hackl and lessons from the painter Frantz von Stuck in 1903. During his time in Munich, he met Jules Pascin, then a draftsman for the German satyrical magazine Simplicissimus, who encouraged him to go to Paris.
Paris
In 1909, Milich spent a few months in Paris, studying at the studio of Claudio Castelucho. Preferring the Old Masters, he became critical of modern painters' lack of technique. Called up in Warsaw for military service, he was discharged as too small of stature. He then traveled to Madrid in 1910, copying paintings by Velázquez and Goya for a German collector, and later went to Rome in 1911. He took up work as a society portraitist, and voiced his protest against anti-Semitic sentiments expressed at a salon. He joined the Union of Polish Painters and Sculptors.
Art collector
In 1915, Milich went to Lugano, Switzerland were he married Carla Fassbind in 1920,[4] and the couple settled in Montparnasse. He taught other artists in his studio there including, in 1924, the Australians Elma Roach and Madge Freeman. He enjoyed studying works in the Louvre and spent summers in Sanary until 1927. In 1930, on the death of Jules Pascin, he was secretary of the committee created especially for this purpose of erecting a monument to Pascin.[5] In 1931, he stayed at La Ciotat, and as an art collector, he took an interest in Degas' paintings and sculptures by Charles Despiau and Jacques Loutchansky. From 1932 the couple managed the Fassbind Hotels on Rigi-Klösterli, the Sonne, Schwert and Krone at the same time, while Carla also owned an alpine dairy, and a bakery employing over 50 individuals.[4][6]
Recognition
The Musée du Jeu de Paume in Paris acquired his paintings in 1934, which were exhibited in the museum's great hall. In 1937, he participated in the International Exhibition and was awarded the bronze medal.

During the German occupation, Milich lived in Switzerland from 1940 to 1942, taking refuge in Saint-Tropez and returning to Paris after the Liberation, living at Rue de l'Université. From 1950, in order to be able to devote herself entirely to her husband's artistic work, Carla sold the three Hotels on Rigi-Klösterli. In 1951, he visited Israel. In 1952, he was made an honorary citizen of Lugano.
He continued painting until his death in 1964.
Legacy
A retrospective was mounted at the Kunsthaus Schallerin 1968,[7] and Milich works are exhibited in museums in France and abroad,[8] with the Milich Museum at Villa Ciani in Lugano, opened in 1966.
