Surrealist before she knew of the movement Lee Miller was caustically brilliant, yet totally loyal, unpretentious, human and intolerant of sham. She was a consummate artist and a consummate clown; at once an upstate New York hick and cosmopolitan grande dame; a cold, soignée fashion model and a hoyden. She was a mechanical tinker, in the sense that her friend [the artist] Alexander Calder once called himself 'just a tinker'. She was the nearest thing I knew to a mid-20th century renaissance woman, described David E. Scherman, LIFE photographer and her very close friend. Lee Miller was one of the most original photographic artists of the 20th century, her surrealist eye informed everything she did. Her work presents the world in a way that encourages us to view it in a different manner. Written and selected by her son Antony Penrose, co-founder of the Lee Miller Archives, author of the highly acclaimed biography Lives of Lee Miller and editor of Lee Miller's War. He has been researching, lecturing and working towards conserving the legacy of his mother's material for 40 years. These 100 full page images from throughout Lee Miller's life are an attestation to her way of seeing.

"Lee Miller (1907-1977) had many lives: she was a model, muse, photographer, war correspondent and Surrealist chef. It is well known that she was 'discovered' on the street at nineteen and that her face appeared on the cover of Vogue a few months later, that she inspired numerous famous illustrators, photographers and artists, and that she flouted convention by picking up a camera and making a name for herself with seductive fashion photos, Surrealist experiments and penetrating war reports. Through this publication, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen reveals the less-well-known fact that, during her lifetime, Miller's impressive oeuvre was mainly accessible in magazines. Curator Saskia van Kampen-Prein traces Miller's life and work through the pages of popular lifestyle magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar and avant-garde Surrealist periodicals. Through these magazines, Miller helped to shape the modern world and was her whole life 'in print'."--Publisher information.
