The Lives of Lee Miller
Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of lifes adventurers. She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau. These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Millers finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penroses tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.

Miró's Magic Animals
A unique look at the work of a great artist as seen through the eyes of a child As might be expected of the son of photographer Lee Miller and writer Roland Penrose, Antony Penrose’s childhood was populated with some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.

Image based book on the Surrealist photography of Lee Miller. Essay of approx 7500 words by her son Antony Penrose included and extended captions supplied for 100 images.
Lee Miller's War
There is the raw edge of combat portrayed at the siege of St. Malo and in the bitterly fought Alsace campaign, and the disbelief and outrage Miller describes on witnessing the victims of Dachau. The war's horror is relieved by the spirit of post-liberation Paris, where she indulged in frivolous fashions and recorded memorable conversations with Picasso, Cocteau, Eluard, Aragon, and Colette. The book ends with Miller's on-the-scene report giving a sardonic description of Hitler's abandoned house in Munich and the looting and burning of his alpine fortress at Berchtesgaden, which marked a symbolic end to the war.
