This book presents a fascinating portrait of a free and committed woman. A photojournalist, war correspondent, and surrealist artist, Lee Miller was one of the most significant female photographers of the 20th century. Introduced to photography at a young age, she honed her craft in Paris, where she mingled with avant-garde artists such as Jean Cocteau, Picasso, and Man Ray, with whom she collaborated extensively. After establishing her own photography studio in New York, gaining recognition as a photographer, she traveled to the Middle East and Europe, eventually becoming a war correspondent. This harrowing experience left a profound impact on her, and it was during this time that she captured many of her most iconic photographs.
