Lee Miller - Photographs

A precious volume to celebrate the art of Lee Miller, one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century. Beautiful and full of charm, she was noticed on the street at 19 by Condé Nast himself, who hired her as a model for Vogue. This is just the beginning of an eventful life, lived with courage and resourcefulness. Lover of Man Ray and great surrealist muse, Lee Miller soon revealed herself to be an extraordinary and multifaceted photographer, capable of immortalizing the great artists of the twentieth century but also the horrors of the concentration camps. Edited by Antony Penrose, son of Lee Miller herself, this volume collects 100 of her most famous shots, spanning fashion, portraits, reportage and advertising. The preface is signed by Kate Winslet who plays her character in the film, soon to be released in cinemas. From 9 September 2023 to 7 January 2024, the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi hosts the exhibition “Lee Miller: Photographer & Surrealist”, celebrating his works
