About
Lee Miller was born in 1907 in Poughkeepsie, New York. She first entered the world of photography in New York as a model to such great photographers as Edward Steichen, Hoyningen-Huene and Arnold Genthe and later worked with Man Ray in Paris, establishing her own studio. Known as a portraitist and fashion photographer, she also made many remarkable Surrealist images; in 1939 she became a staff photographer for Vogue magazine just as the war broke out. Astoundingly for the time, Miller became an accredited correspondent to the US Army, and was probably the only woman combat photojournalist to cover the war in Europe.
This book accompanies an exhibition consisting of 96 photographs spanning Lee Miller’s career, including portraits of great artists and personalities such as Picasso, Chaplin, and Joseph Cornell.
