RICHARD EDWARD MILLER (AMERICAN,RICHARD EDWARD MILLER (AMERICAN, 1875 - 1943) 28 ½" x 36" "In the Garden." Oil on canvas, signed lower right, in decorative frame, overall 33 ½" x 41". Remnants of Worcester Art Museum label, Cleveland Museum of Art label and an unidentified label verso. "Macbeth Gallery New York" stamped on the top stretched bar. A letter of authenticity from Marie Louise Kane discusses the painting. "Although I have never seen the painting titled In the Garden (oil on canvas, 28.5 x 36 inches) signed Miller (lower right) and offered at Aspire Auctions February 12-18, 2021, I am of the firm opinion that it is by the American artist Richard Edward Miller (1875-1943).
The model in the painting appears in other works of the period by Miller, most notably the seated figure under the parasol in Afternoon Tea, 1910 (Indianapolis Museum of Art). I would date In the Garden to the same period, 1910-1911, and place it in the same locale, a garden in Giverny, France. By 1910 Miller, who arrived in France in 1899 to further his art studies, had already spent several summers in Giverny, joining a small community of American artists, many of whom were pulled there by Monet's presence. Miller's work, which until this time was characterized by a darker palette, begin to brighten noticeably. He placed his models outdoors, in gardens, or in sunrooms opening into gardens, and played with the effects of sunlight – on flesh, on fabric, on foliage. As in other Giverny paintings by Miller, the model is wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a full, white, tiered skirt, a flowing shawl, and a coral necklace.
In the Garden has all of the desirable characteristics of Miller's peak impressionist, French-period painting: a comely model elegantly dressed ; a garden-in-full-bloom setting; a colorful palette; the play of light and shadow; and lively, virtuosic brushwork. In it he achieved the highly pleasing decorative effect which fulfills his dictum that “Art's mission is not literary, the telling of a story, but decorative, the conveying of a pleasant optical sensation.”
I believe this painting was exhibited at the Macbeth Gallery in New York City, which held an exhibition of Miller's paintings April 1-20, 1912. A small pamphlet printed by the gallery lists the work as: No. 3 In the Garden. (The works are not illustrated.) Afternoon Tea, mentioned above, was also in that exhibition. From the Macbeth Gallery the painting went to the Worcester Art Museum, which had requested it, along with In the Arbor, for their 1912 Summer Exhibition. The painting was entered in the Worcester museum's registrar's file, but it seems not to have been included in the exhibition, as it is not listed in the exhibition catalogue. Correspondence between the museum and the Macbeth Gallery reveals that the museum director, Philip J. Gentner, felt he would have difficulty including all of the numerous paintings he had requested for the exhibition, and so it seems likely that he chose to exhibit only one painting by Miller – In the Arbor (illustrated in the catalogue).
In the Garden was purchased from the Macbeth Gallery (just before it was packed up to go to Worcester) by Ralph T. King, Esq. This would no doubt have been Ralph Thrall King (1855-1926), a prominent Cleveland, OH businessman and civic leader. Years later the painting was exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art in “American Paintings Owned in Cleveland,” July 3 – September 13, 1920. It appears in an installation photo in the museum's archives.
