The Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain is the most extensive retrospective of her photography ever staged in the UK, covering her work in French surrealism to her fashion photography to her war reportage. Around 250 vintage and modern prints, including some that have never been on display before, feature in the exhibition. It begins with Miller’s time working in front of the camera as a model before moving on to her work in Paris, including with surrealist artist and lover Man Ray. Photographs from Cairo and wartime London are presented alongside her famous images from Buchenwald and Dachau, with lesser-known elements of her practice, like images of the Egyptian landscape in the 1930s, also on show.
