About this event
Lee Miller, who began her career as an iconic model in New York, reinvented herself as a pioneering photographer in Paris, where she became a key figure in the Surrealist movement. Her transition from fashion salons to Europe’s battlefields marked a radical turn in her life and work.
In 1944, Miller was accredited as a war correspondent for the United States Army, capturing momentous events such as D-Day, the liberation of Paris and the revelation of the horrors in concentration camps. Her images not only document these historical events, but also reflect deep empathy and a commitment to the humanity that confronted the atrocities of war.
The exhibition ‘Lee Miller: War Chronicles’ is an opportunity to appreciate the lasting impact of her work, which continues to resonate through its ability to intertwine aesthetics with incisive reportage. Each photograph is a testimony to Miller’s indomitable spirit and tireless pursuit of capturing the truth, regardless of personal risk.
Do not miss the chance to witness the unique vision of a woman who not only documented history, but lived it from the front lines. This exhibition is a tribute to her legacy and a reflection on the power of art to confront and document reality in times of turbulence.
