About Godfrey Miller
Godfrey Clive Miller (1893–1964) was an Australian painter born in Wellington, New Zealand. He is recognized as a significant figure in twentieth-century Australian art, with works held in major public collections including the Tate in London. Active through the mid-century period, Miller produced paintings across still-life, figure composition, and urban subject matter. His career is documented in the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the RKD Netherlands Institute for Art History, and the Library of Congress authority files. Miller lived and worked in the Paddington area of Sydney until his death in 1964. References in the Encyclopaedia of Australian Art and other standard reference works confirm his established place in Australian art history.
