Lee Miller not only Man Ray's muse, but above all a professional in her own right

Model, photographer, muse, the first female war correspondent to report

the horrors of the concentration camps liberated by American troops,

and 20th-century icon. Lee Miller was all this and much more. She went through

life with passion and determination and life repaid her with love and friends, but

also with pain and posthumous, or at least tardy, acknowledgement.

Through approximately 140 photographs by Lee Miller and Man Ray, some

objects d'art, and video documents loaned by Lee Miller Archives and Fondazi one Marconi, this book intends to do justice to this woman as beautiful as she

was clever and talented, taking her out of Man Ray's overpowering shadow. It

will reveal a deep but complicated relationship more objectively (Man Ray was

first her teacher, then lover, and in the end friend), and document the effect

they both had on each other and how it inspired their work.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, the volume features texts

by the curator, Ami Bouhassane (Miller's grand-daughter), and Anthony Pen rose (Miller's son). Moreover it includes portraits by Man Ray of friends and

important protagonists of the period (Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio de

Chirico, Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí), as well as surrealist shots of Lee Miller

in which she seeks to investigate and reveal her soul and torments.
