Lee Miller (1907-1977) moved to London in the late 1930s, just as a
rich strand of Surrealist practice was burgeoning in Britain.
Miller was central to its development and prolonged life after
World War II, exhibiting alongside British Surrealists such as
Eileen Agar and Henry Moore in often overlooked London exhibitions.
This book is the first to present Lee Miller's photographs of, and
collaborations with key British Surrealists alongside their
artworks, to tell the story of this exciting cultural moment.
Miller's photographs of noted continental Surrealists such as Max
Ernst and E.L.T Mesens, taken while they were working and
exhibiting in Britain, also feature alongside their works,
documenting their enduring friendships with Miller and her husband,
the artist Roland Penrose. Miller's interdisciplinary photographic
practice acted as a conduit for the dispersal of Surrealist images
out of the realm of fine art and into the worlds of fashion,
commercial photography and journalism. A vital study for all
students and enthusiasts of Surrealism and those enthralled by the
enigmatic Lee Miller, this book reveals the social and cultural
networks in which she was embedded, offering a holistic view of her
work and the life of the Surrealist movement in Britain.
