Intaglio print on paper. Signed, dated and numbered. Happiness (small) (2017) by Harland Miller is a satirical intaglio print mimicking the design of a vintage Penguin paperback cover. Known for blending literary and visual art, Miller uses the format of a book jacket to explore themes of irony, melancholy, and British stoicism. The bold title HAPPINESS – THE CASE AGAINST contrasts sharply with the vibrant, geometric illusion at the center of the image, hinting at the elusive and contradictory nature of happiness. The print plays with language and visual structure, reflecting Miller’s signature blend of humor, cynicism, and design nostalgia.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
