One of the most unconventional female artists of the 20th century, Lee Miller was admired for her classical beauty, intelligence, and photographic talent. She was born in New York in 1907, and modeled for Vogue before meeting Man Ray in Paris in 1929. Inspired by his work, Miller began creating her own surrealist photographs. Later, she became a war photographer for British Vogue and was the only woman in combat photojournalism in Europe during World War II. After the war, her later work included portraits of art-world friends such as Max Ernst, Alfred Barr Jr., and Saul Steinberg.
