BILL MILLER (1921-1995)


Self-portrait.
Silver print, the image measuring 162x114 mm; 6 3/8x4 1/2 inches, with the Collection of Jon Anderson and Collection of Paul Cadmus stamps, the photographer's credit and title in ink in Paul Cadmus' hand, and the typed date (in red). March 4, 1945.

Miller was a mainstay in mid-20th-century Manhattan gay life and was considered by many to be one of the handsomest men in New York during the 1940s. He was photographed by George Platt Lynes and drawn by Paul Cadmus on numerous occasions.
