MAX MILLER    Australia    1940 -

Born in New South Wales in 1940, Max Miller studied in Sydney, Florence and London and has exhibited his work since 1970. He is a painter, printmaker and teacher - also a distinguished master printer who has worked with many artists including Brett Whiteley, John Olsen and Lloyd Rees. Miller has for many years been attracted to Asian art and philosophy, particularly Buddhism, which has informed his artistic sensibility. His principal subject is the Australian landscape; his closely observed drawings of flora and fauna inform his more abstract work. This etching was made by abutting five plates, the composition echoing the format of Japanese screens. "His concern… is not only to capture the physical topography of a place or its sense impressions, but to somehow convey the sense of the spirit of the place and to relate this spirit to a much broader understanding of the spirit of the universe". [Sasha Grishin, 'Australian printmaking in the 1990s,
