Henry MILLER
(1891-1980)

American novelist and watercolor painter. Born Henry Valentine Miller in 1891 in Yorkville, Manhattan, NYC as the eldest son of a German American family. Representative works include “Tropic of Cancer”, “Tropic of Capricorn”, and “The Rosy Crucifixion”. Although he’s known as a literary great, Miller was also a painter who created thousands of watercolors over his lifetime. Withdrew from City College of New York to roam.

Held a solo watercolor exhibition in Greenwich Village in 1927. Left for Paris in 1930, a time when many American artists of “The Lost Generation” were returning to the US.

“Tropic of Cancer”, which he began in 1932, was published by Obelisk Press in 1934, laying his foundation as an author. “Tropic of Capricorn” was published by Obelisk Press in 1939. 1940, returned to New York and traveled the United states with the artist Abraham Rattner. By 1943 he had painted hundreds of watercolors and held a solo exhibition in Hollywood. 1944, held solo exhibitions at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and in London. 1955, held “Henry Miller Watercolor Exhibition” at the Bridgestone Museum in Japan. 1957, had solo exhibitions in London, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv. 1958, selected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. 1967, married his fifth wife Hoki Tokuda. 1968, held watercolor exhibitions across Japan.
