Lives of Lee Miller: The Inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Lee
Description
Description
Beautiful, bewitching, and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of life's 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 Miller's finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning, and Ernst, Penrose's tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Should ensure Miller the place she deserves in future histories.-- "Art in America"
Brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.-- "Library Journal"
An excellent memoir . . . of a remarkable career.-- "The New York Times"
Sure to entertain photography lovers and history buffs alike.-- "The New Criterion" (8/27/2024 12:00:00 AM)
The Lives of Lee Miller is admiring, but maintains a distance from its subject: As Mr. Penrose writes in a brief endnote, the author was discovering his mother alongside his reader.-- "The Wall Street Journal"
