- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about folk artist R. A. Miller. R. A. Miller, a resident of Rabbittown, an unincorporated community north of Gainesville, was one of the state's enduring self-taught artists, noted for his "whirligigs," or metal cutout figures, and drawings, which typically feature animal or human figures and short inspirational messages. The best of his flat cutouts and drawn figures recall the expressive economy of such self-taught artists as Bill Traylor of Alabama.
