Henry Miller was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 26, 1891 to German-American parents. Impoverished for much of his young life, Miller eventually achieved success in both his writing and his watercolor paintings. Best known for his salacious literature, Miller's Tropic of Cancer was followed by Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy known as "The Rosy Crucifixion" which included Sexus, Plexus, and Nexus. Miller died on June 7, 1980.
