notes

  1. 1.content & presentation

  2. these differ marginally from the version lodged with my thesis, principally to improve clarity and readability, and sometimes to correct errors;  I intend updating the information as circumstances allow [Jan 2010];  as well, since around 2000, images and details of Miller’s works are increasingly finding their way to the internet, so an appropriate hyperlink now underlies a work’s title and / or acc no, coloured green as here when the image is freely accessible, and red when subject to access restrictions

  3. 2.artwork cat no

  4. top of lh column for each artwork entry:  allocated by myself, using stylistic analysis for the career phases identified, thematically ordered by landscapes, abstracts, still lifes, figure subjects and religious works; in addition, the number accompanies its title whenever mentioned in the descriptive contents, format [xxx]

  19. details given are not necessarily complete;  dates shown are the latest known for the given collector;  the earliest date known is also given at times;  when the provenance is questioned, there is the likelihood of a match between the work under discussion and that of the source indicated, but no affirming evidence has yet become available
