Terrific original painting done by artist Arthur K. Miller, mixed media on canvas, 24.5 x 59.5, depicting Karloff in his iconic full makeup as Frankenstein’s monster, with blood-red text below reading: “Karloff.” Intentionally distressed for vintage appeal, signed in the lower border by Miller with his last name, and signed again on the reverse edge in black felt tip, “Arthur K. Miller, 2013.” Rolled and in fine condition. A superlative nearly five-foot-tall rendition of this unforgettable horror character.
An artist from York Beach, Maine, Arthur K. Miller’s paintings are collected internationally and have graced the covers of many publications, with some having been featured in a one-man show at the National Baseball Hall of Fame for more than five years. In this series of banners, he utilized mixed media on raw canvas in a 'faux-antique' style developed to capture the essence of true pop cultural artifacts—the sort stowed away in attic trunks and farmhouse lofts in days gone by, lying in wait to be rediscovered today. This is the first time Miller's banner paintings have been made publicly available, with a San Francisco gallery exhibition scheduled for later this year.
