Sir John Everett Millais (1829 – 1896) | Autumn Leaves.
Современники называли Миллеса “падшим ангелом живописи”, но коллекционеры платили за его работы баснословные деньги, а для того, чтобы заказать ему портрет, желающие выстраивались в очередь. Творческий путь художника не был легким и прямолинейным. В молодые годы Джон Миллес был “бунтарем от искусства” и активно боролся с традиционными подходами к живописи, которые отстаивала и пропагандировала Академия художеств. Но к концу жизни взгляды его существенно изменились, и его даже избрали президентом Академии художеств.

Hil St. Soul
Hil St. Soul is a British Soul/R&B music duo made up of singer-songwriter Hilary Mwelwa and producer Victor Redwood-Sawyerr. The group's name is pronounced Hill Street Soul. Singer Hilary Mwelwa was born in Lusaka, Zambia, but when she was five, she and her family relocated to London. She says that as a child she adopted her father’s love of music, and the family's home was filled with traditional Zambian music along with American R&B/soul icons Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. While attending London's Westminster University, Hilary decided to seriously pursue music, despite the fact that she had no formal training. She took a year off from school and recorded her first demo, which is how she met producer Victor Redwood-Sawyerr. In the late 1990s, Hilary graduated from Westminster U. with a degree in biological sciences. But having set her sights on a music career, she linked up with producer-songwriter Victor Redwood-Sawyerr, who had been a co-founder of the former UK hip-hop group Blak Twang. The two formed Hil St. Soul, and their debut album, Soul Organic, was released throughout the United Kingdom in October 2000 on British Soul/R&B label Dome Records.
