Lee Miller

I just wanted to show pictures taken by Lee Miller. Lee Miller worked for Vogue during World War II, which showed her fashion and war photography. Before the war, she was a student of Man Ray and together they developed solarization. She was also friends with many surrealists and Pablo Picasso. Miller was the person who came to Picasso once Paris had been liberated and told him the war was ended. After World War II she became less involved in photography and became more reclusive. One of her final editorials had her famous artist friends doing basic labor at her farm. I saw her exhibition at the V&A in London and here is a small sampling of her work.
