Lee Miller's upcoming retrospective at Tate Britain will be the largest exhibition of her work, showcasing her diverse career from surrealism in France to wartime photojournalism. The exhibition will include around 250 prints, some previously unseen, revealing her artistic evolution and unique perspective. Born in 1907, Miller transitioned from modeling to photography under the mentorship of Man Ray, which led to her innovative engagement with techniques like solarisation. Her later war photography captures the harrowing realities of conflict, cementing her legacy as a significant figure in 20th-century photography.
"The exhibition will showcase the entirety of Miller's career, from her participation in French surrealism to her fashion and war photography."
"Miller was first exposed to a camera by working as a model in the late 1920s, when she was photographed by celebrated figures such as Cecil Beaton and Edward Steichen."
