Lee Miller's life embodied all the contradictions and complications
of the twentieth century: a model and photographer, muse and
reporter, sexual adventurer and domestic goddess, she was also
America's first female war correspondent. Carolyn Burke, a
biographer and art critic, here reveals how the muse who inspired
Man Ray, Cocteau, and Picasso could be the same person who
unflinchingly photographed the horrors of Buchenwald and Dachau.
Burke captures all the verve and energy of Miller's life, from her
early childhood trauma to her stint as a Vogue model and art-world
ingenue, from her harrowing years as a war correspondent to her
unconventional marriages and passion for gourmet cooking. A
lavishly illustrated story of art and beauty, sex and power,
modernism and surrealism, "Lee Miller" illuminates an astonishing
woman's journey from art object to artist. This title is National
Book Critics Circle Award Finalist.
