Born in New York in 1907 Lee Miller had many
extraordinary lives morphing from a young
surrealist artist to a top fashion model, to Vogue
fashion photographer, to WW2 war photo-journalist
and finally, a gourmet cook. She was the artistic
collaborator and lover of the well-known surrealist
photographer Man Ray and later married British
Surrealist artist Roland Penrose. They made a
family home at Farley Farm, East Sussex, where
Pablo Picasso visited and was an artistic haven for
some of the most influential creatives of the 20th
Century. Antony Penrose, Lee's son, has lectured
at universities and museums all over the world and
written several books, one of which ‘The Lives of
Lee Miller’ was recently made into a film titled 'LEE'
starring Kate Winslet. Antony will be using many of
Lee Miller’s own images to give us a lasting portrait
of this talented, trailblazing and courageous woman.
