Description

Lee Miller was one of the most original photographic artists of the 20th century, her Surrealist eye informed everything she did. Her work presents the world in a way that encourages us to view it in a different manner.

Surrealist before she knew of the movement Lee Miller was ‘caustically brilliant, yet totally loyal, unpretentious, human and intolerant of sham.”She was a consummate artist and a consummate clown; at once an upstate New York hick and cosmopolitan grande dame; a cold, soignée fashion model and a hoyden… She was the nearest thing I knew to a mid-20th century renaissance woman” wrote David E. Scherman, LIFE photographer and a close friend of Lee.

Written and selected by her son Antony Penrose these 100 full page images from throughout Lee Miller’s life are an attestation to her way of seeing.
