Notes:Miller held only four solo exhibitions, the second a retrospective mounted by the National Gallery of Victoria in 1959. In all, he only ever showed about forty paintings. He published a pamphlet (1959) elaborating the philosophical stance reflected in his paintings, and a book, ‘40 Drawings by Godfrey Miller’ (Sydney, 1962). Following his death on 10 May 1964 at his Paddington home, a hoard of his paintings was discovered in his house which formed the basis of the Godfrey Miller Memorial Exhibition, held in Sydney in 1965. Miller’s achievement lay in melding early twentieth-century practices and theories of picture-making with symbolic traditions to express an enigmatic, poetical mysticism.
