In 2015, the Wright Museum presented an original exhibit of 83 paintings by American serviceman Charles J. Miller. With support from Miller’s family, The Wright Museum is now able to share Miller’s work outside of NH for the first time ever.
Both NH Chronicle and the Boston Globe covered the Wright’s original Miller show.
Private Charlie Miller fought in the Pacific Theatre during World War II and captured his deployment in over 700 of paintings, 120 of which are included in this show. He drew on whatever he had available from large sheets of paper to the insides of cigarette cartons, and using children’s watercolor sets. With these humble materials Miller created powerful works of art, full of wonderful color and skilled draftsmanship, with dramatic action and keen observation.

This special exhibit is produced and toured by the Wright Museum of WWII. Miller’s original art works were vigilantly preserved by his niece and her husband, Nancy and Robert Dennis, whose foresight and care made this show possible. The Wright Museum is indebted to Nancy and Bob Dennis, and to Charlie Miller’s nephew and wife, Jamie and Joni Clemons, for allowing us to curate and share this exceptional exhibition. We are grateful to The Art Place of Wolfeboro; James and Jonie Clemons; and to the family of Cpt. Donald M. Jones, Navy AF 1942-45 for helping make possible the framing and mating of Miller’s works.
