Description
Lee Miller Photographs presents 100 of the most outstanding photographs taken by a pioneering woman photographer, model, and Surrealist muse. Lee Miller's work spans photojournalism, fashion, portraiture, and advertising, showcasing her unique perspective and skill.
Miller's career was marked by her association with the Surrealists and avant-garde artists, including Jean Cocteau and Picasso, and her development of the distinctive technique of solarization. This book collects her most famous documentary, fashion, and war works, as well as photographs of Miller herself, carefully curated by her son, the photographer Antony Penrose.
A foreword by actress Kate Winslet, who will star as Miller in the film Lee, adds a personal touch to this evocative collection. With a foreword by Kate Winslet, this book offers a unique insight into the life and work of a true photography legend.
