biography
Milo was born Emil Halbheer in Koblenz, grew up there and attended school. At the age of 20 he moved to his father's hometown in Zurich , Switzerland, where he completed an apprenticeship as a decorative and flat painter. This was followed by a visit to the arts and crafts school and a study trip to the south of France. His works have been exhibited in Winterthur, Zurich and Bubikon. In 1949 he moved to La Garde-Freinet in Provence and opened his own studio there, where he lived during the summer months.
