In very good condition. Labels and annotations on the back. Presented on a 30 x 24 cm card. Lee Miller, born 23 April 1907 – died 21 July 1977, was an American photographer and model. In 1929, she left America for Paris and met Man Ray; she would become his muse, his mistress and his assistant. In 1930, she established her own photographic studio. Lee Miller would, in particular, take on fashion assignments that Man Ray could no longer fulfill. With Man Ray, she rediscovered the photographic technique of solarisation. Lee Miller contributed to the Surrealist movement by producing images full of wit and humor. At that time, Lee Miller befriended Paul Éluard, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau.
