Private Charles Miller: Wwii Paintings from the South Pacific

We are excited to host Private Charles J. Miller: WWII Paintings from the South Pacific in the museum's West Gallery.

Private Charlie Miller fought in the Pacific Theatre during World War II and captured his deployment in over 700 of paintings, 120 of which are included in this show. He drew on whatever he had available from large sheets of paper to the insides of cardboard boxes and painted with children's watercolor sets. With these humble materials Miller created powerful works of art, full of wonderful color and skilled draftsmanship, with dramatic action and keen observation.
