Alice Lindley-Millican (1885–1930) was a British sculptor known for her figurative works.[1][2]

Personal life

In early 1917, during the First World War, Alice Lindley married Albert Millican in Stockport, Cheshire.[2]

In 1915 and 1919 Lindley-Millican's address was recorded as 'The Lilacs' in Mottram-in-Longendale, Manchester.[3][4] She later moved to London and in 1922 was listed by the Royal Academy at 3 Holbein Studios, 52 Redcliffe Road in South Kensington.[5][6] This property was particularly suitable as there was a studio in the roof space, converted during the 1920s.[7] It was occupied by the artists Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious during the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1927 Lindley-Millican was contactable through the Three Arts Club, 19a Marylebone Road, London.[8]

Alice Lindley-Millican died in November 1930.[1]

Artwork

From 1908 to around 1912, Alice studied at the Manchester School of Art and exhibited during this period.[2] She worked in several materials, including marble and plaster.[9]

Lindley-Millican continued to exhibit regularly throughout her professional career. She showed twice at the Royal Academy of Arts, once in 1915 and again in 1922.[3][5] She also exhibited at the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in 1910, 1919 and finally in 1923 with her sculpture Baby and Frog.[2][4][10] In 1926 she exhibited her sculpture Energy at Manchester Art Gallery as part of the Exhibition of Work by Manchester Artists.[11] Lindley-Millican exhibited with the Royal West of England Academy in 1927–1928.[12]

Lindley-Millican was a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors from 1928 until her death.[13][2]

Two of her sculptures are held by public collections in the United Kingdom; a plaster bust of Reverend Canon Winfield from 1910 at the Towneley Hall Art Gallery & Museum and a marble bust of Henry Enfield Dowson from 1914 at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford.[9]
