About The Work
This silkscreen print by Harland Miller titled Painting for Charles Addams (2012), is part of an ongoing series of work that deals with obituaries and the cult of personality. The subject of both this print and the painting it is based on (featured in Miller's 2012 exhibition The Next Life's On Me at White Cube Hoxton Square) Charles Addams, the macabre American cartoonist and notorious womanizer who was best known as the creator of the Addams family stories. Miller has used characteristic word play to subvert the classic image of a lovers’ embrace into something witty and ironic both in the Addams and Miller tradition.
