Though she was intimately connected with many of the leading figures associated with surrealism, including Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst, and participated in major exhibitions of her time, Miller was also at times marginalised in the art world as a woman and as a photographer in an era when photography’s status as an art form was not widely accepted. Her genre-bending work incorporated portraiture, fashion, still life, landscape, reportage, and advertising: fearless, poetic and surreal, it reveals a world of uncanny beauty and sensual ambiguity – often with a humorous edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrawing on new primary research, the book features essays exploring every aspect of Miller’s career, from her early years in Paris, New York and Cairo to her wartime journalism and late portraits. Additionally, the British novelist, playwright, and poet Deborah Levy offers a personal reflection on Miller and her art. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of images, the book provides a comprehensive exploration of Lee Miller, revealing her as one of the most urgent creative voices of the twentieth century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHilary Floe is Senior Curator, Modern and Contemporary British Art, Tate Britain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaskia Flower is Assistant Curator, Modern and Contemporary British Art, Tate Britain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing additional contributions by Damarice Amao and Deborah Levy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_meta\"\u003eBinding : Hardcover,\u003cspan\u003eFSC Certified paper\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_meta\"\u003eFormat : \u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"attr-value\"\u003e28.5 x 23 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_meta\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"attr-value\"\u003eContent : 252 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isbn\"\u003eISBN: \u003cspan\u003e9781849769808\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"meta\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53712406643029,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/0849\/1861\/files\/IMG_2633.webp?v=1776516953","url":"https:\/\/paradis.digital\/products\/lee-miller-exhibition-book-by-hilary-floe-and-saskia-flower","provider":"Paradis Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
