The 1960s was an exciting decade for Peter Miller. It began with him as a recent graduate, starting his first teaching job in Warrington and continuing to exhibit his work across the North of England. It ended with him as a well-respected art lecturer and commanding one man shows in the prestigious Alwin gallery in London. |

This decade also saw a sharp rise in the trajectory of his profile, with his work reviewed in several journals and radio programmes, including reviews in the International Herald Tribune and Arts and Artists. He was being recognised by well- established art critics, and his work was likened at the time to that of Picasso. He was also awarded the prestigious Henton Prize for outstanding work in 1966. |

1969 - The Troubles |
It was a decade which saw Peter’s style begin its metamorphosis. Many artists develop quite traditionally but Peter departed from the norm, by developing an abstract style of painting, and moving to a much more conventional style in his later work. This gradual change was becoming evident in his work in the late 1960’s, and the unique development is fascinating to observe. |
