Discover the fascinating life of Lee Miller, a woman of great beauty and captivating personality who was, above all, an adventurer. In the twenties, she was a Vogue cover girl in New York, but she left everything to embrace Paris, photography and surrealism. Her last dramatic mutation led her to reinvent herself as a war correspondent, documenting the liberation of Dachau. This intimate account, narrated by her son Antony Penrose, offers a selection of her best photographs and reports, as well as portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst. Penrose pays tribute to his mother, revealing the woman of extraordinary talent she was in the turbulent times she lived through.
Antony William Roland Penrose is a British photographer. The son of Roland Penrose and Lee Miller, Penrose is director of the Lee Miller Archive and Penrose Collection at his parents' former home, Farley Farm House.
