Lee Miller. Photographs paints a fascinating portrait of a free and committed woman.

Introduced to photography at an early age, Lee Miller perfected her art in Paris, where she rubbed shoulders with the Surrealists and avant-garde artists such as Jean Cocteau, Picasso and Man Ray, with whom she collaborated for many years. After opening her own photography studio in New York, making a name for herself as a photographer, she traveled to the Middle East and Europe before becoming a war reporter. It was also during this period that she took many of her most emblematic photographs.
