Miller / Man Ray – A portrait of surrealism ; expo Italie 2022-2023

The book, published to complement the Milan exhibition (17 June – 27 September 2020), aims to establish Miller’s remarkable talent as a photographer, setting her on a par with Man Ray, whose work has tended to overshadow hers, and to re-examine the couple’s professional and personal relationship. It also reveals the crucial ways in which Lee Miller inspired Man Ray’s work at that time as well as later, including the discovery of the photographic technique of solarization, which quickly became Ray’s most widely-recognized style.
