The Christmas LIst:
Lee Miller : A Life (Hardcover) by Carolyn Burke
This is a sensational story of an amazing woman. ‘Lee Miller (1907–1977) began her career as a fashion model discovered when Conde Nast nearly ran her over. She went to Paris and became Man Ray’s muse and student. Her surrealist background led to her taking stunning photos of the London Blitz, but she shot her most memorable—and disturbing—images accompanying American troops from Paris to Dachau as a war correspondent for Vogue. .As the first major biographer outside the Miller family, Burke traces a dynamic life that embodies the spirit of the 20th century’s first half’. A must read.
