As a landscape painter with a colorful and highly personal style,
Robert Alexander
Darrah Miller (1905-1966) is often associated with New Hope's modernist painters,
though he disliked the idea of being called a modernist. "I think you just paint and
you paint according to your time and environment" he said. Born in Philadelphia,
Miller studied with Daniel Garber
at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where he also learned the crafts of
portrait painting and still life. Curated by Dr. Cher Krause Knight, Assistant
Professor of Art History at Emerson College, Boston, this exhibit assembled some
of Miller's finest work, and was accompanied by a publication produced during
Dr. Knight's tenure as the Michener's Helen Hartmann Gemmill Research Fellow.
