Abstract Brutalist original black ink wood block or woodcut block print by listed American artist, Leon Gordon Miller. Signed at lower edge, numbered 17/25. The title "Daniel's Interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's Dream" is also handwritten by the artist. Nebuchadnezzar ruled as King of Babylon from 605-562 BC, and Daniel was his most trusted wise man. The Bible, along with other ancient texts, includes writings that the King relied on Daniel to interpret his dreams.
The piece measures 12" wide x 14" tall in total, and the view area measures just over 6.5" x 8.5". Mat has some slight bumps and wear marks on outer edges, which will likely be covered entirely when it is in a frame. Some soiling on backer board not visible from the front. Could also be re-matted if so desired.
Artist's Biography: Leon Gordon Miller (1917-1985) was an American industrial designer and architect. His artwork includes works as a painter, printmaker, and stained glass maker. Miller graduated in art from Kean College of New Jersey. Throughout his active career in the fine arts, he engaged simultaneously in the professional practice of design and architectural planning as president of his own industrial design firm in Cleveland, Ohio.
As an artist, Miller had more than 15 solo exhibitions in various media, including painting, photography, prints, sculpture and stained glass from 1969 to 1977. Miller won sculpture, art and design awards throughout his career, including the 1973 United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Arts Award and the 1975 American Graphic Arts Award.
He was active in professional organizations relating to art, architecture and industrial design, being a founding member of the Artists Equity Association and a Fellow of the Industrial Design Institute, and a U.S. delegate to the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) to Stockholm in 1959, Venice in 1961, London in 1969, Mexico in 1971, and Japan in 1973.
As an Industrial Designer, he was active in the Industrial Design Institute (IDI), serving as its president in 1960 and 1961 and its board chairman in 1962 and 1963. He received a Silver Medal Award for Outstanding Contribution to Design from IDI in 1962. In 1963, he was chairman of the New York World's Fair Student Scholarship Awards Program. He was awarded Fellowship in IDI, which was honored by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) in 1965 when IDI became part of that organization. As a member and Fellow of the Institute of Business Designers, he won its First Award in Design in 1969 and 1971. He was a U.S. delegate to the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) to Stockholm in 1959, Venice in 1961, London in 1969, Mexico in 1971, and Japan in 1973.
As an Architect, he won Participation and Sculpture Awards in 1955, 1956, 1959, and 1960 at the National Gold Medal Exhibition of Architectural League of New York. Also he received a Merit Award from the National Association of Specialty Planners in 1970. He was also a board member of the Guild for Religious Arts and Architecture.
In community affairs, he was one of twenty-five leaders of American finance and industry to receive the Distinguished Service Award of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in observance of the 25th Anniversary of Israel in 1973. He was a frequent guest speaker and panelist on topics dealing with the arts and the environment, and represented the U.S. abroad in Canada, Yugoslavia, and Israel, as well as for ICSID.
The Leon Gordon Miller Papers are held by Syracuse University, the bulk of which is directly related to Miller's work with the Industrial Designers Institute.
