Written by Lee Miller’s son, the book brings to life one of the twentieth century’s great photographers. The actress Kate Winslet claims that the book inspired her to create the 2024 prize-winning film Lee in which Winslet stars as Lee and portrays all of Miller’s multiple lives: as model, as friend of Picasso and other artists, and as a war photographer. An immensely talented photographer, Lee’s move from Vogue cover model to documenting the liberation of Dachau after WWII matches the turbulent moments of her time and is an inspiration.
Antony Penrose shares the unique world of his mother, model-photographer-writer Lee Miller, whose restless lifestyle drove her from Vogue magazine to artist dens - including Picasso and Man Ray - to the battlefronts of World War 2. Every female should be proud of her.
