Roger Milliot

Roger Milliot (1927, Le Creusot – 1968) was a French poet and painter.

His health problems prevented him from becoming an ornamentalist.

Like his idol René Char, he preferred provincial life to that of Paris and lived in Montauban, where there is now a museum of his paintings, mostly portraits of women.

His depression and feelings of frustration led him to suicide by drowning in the Seine river.
