The model, muse, photographer and trailblazer is the subject of a new exhibition - and a film starring Kate Winslet.
Lee Miller was in her early 20s when she wandered in front of a car on a busy New York street and was pulled back to safety by a stranger. He turned out to be Condé Nast, of the magazine empire that included.
Heide’s head curator, Kendrah Morgan, who worked closely with Penrose to bring the exhibition to Australia, describes Miller as headstrong and independent. She defied the limitations and conventions placed on women at the time; although she was aligned with the surrealist movement, she didn’t strictly adhere to surrealist philosophies.
Not only did she cover the war, says Morgan, she got into the action, even if at the beginning it was by chance. “There were no crews, they weren’t meant to be in combat, especially not the women … and then her humanity in being there, her empathy and helping everybody. As a woman, she was such a trailblazer. You’ve got to admire that, her tenacity; she spoke her truth.”, Miller was soon writing as well.
