Samenvatting:

Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of lifes adventurers.

She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau.

These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Millers finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penroses tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.
