He worked as an architect, artist, craftsperson, curator, designer, and illustrator during a particularly rich period that saw the ascendancy of modernism across the visual culture of the city. Though aware of contemporary developments and debates, Miller's tremendous body of work, which spanned multiple media, materials, and disciplines, speaks to an individual unconcerned with trends, labels, or what became the established tenets of modern art. While developing a signature style, he never embraced the aesthetics of geometric abstraction, \"art for art's sake,\" subjective expressionism, or the machine age. He instead remained committed to figurative storytelling and representing the natural world, creating work that was intended to be experienced across the built environment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished in conjunction with DePaul Art Museum's 2024 retrospective of Miller's work, \u003cem\u003eEdgar Miller: Anti-Modern, 1917–1967\u003c\/em\u003e features new research by scholars Marin R.
