Melissa Miller

"Nationally acclaimed for her bold, imaginative, allegorical paintings of animals, Melissa Miller is an iconoclastic artist who has fearlessly worked outside of prevailing artistic styles and movements since the mid-1970s. Her paintings have been included in the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Bienniale and collected by major museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the National Museum of Women in the Arts, in Washington, D.C. Miller draws on a wider variety of literary and art historical sources than most contemporary artists, as well as a deeply felt connection to the natural world, to compose narratives that use animal actors to powerfully express humanity's inchoate fears and longings." "Melissa Miller is the first major publication of this important artist's work. The book presents over one hundred color images of Miller's paintings from early work done in the late 1970s up to paintings created at the turn of the twenty-first century."--book jacket.
