Lee Miller

Lee Miller (1907-1977) was a fashion model, a photo-journalist and an artist who captured extraordinary moments of modern life.

As model and muse, Miller is too often only considered through the lens of the men she knew and loved. Yet she was an artist who forged her own path and who built a career which overturned expected social stereotypes. Her photography explored in her own unique way the objectification of the female form, and later documented the experience of women during the Second World War.

A contemporary of the British Surrealists, Miller’s contribution to the group is explored in this introduction to her work, as is her involvement in the development of the photographic technique of solorisation, previously solely attributed to Man Ray. Capturing some of the most enduring images of the early twentieth century, Miller’s work offers a record for our times.

Lee Miller (1907-1977) a fost un model de moda, un jurnalist foto si un artist care a surprins momente extraordinare din viata moderna. Ca model si muza, Miller este considerat prea des numai prin prisma barbatilor pe care i-a cunoscut si i-a iubit. Cu toate acestea, ea a fost o artista care si-a construit propria cale si care si-a construit o cariera care a rasturnat stereotipurile sociale asteptate.
