THIS VIDEO: Photographer Lee Miller was force of nature. Armed with determination, talent, bravery and beauty she established herself as -a star within the fashion world of New York, a leading figure within the surrealistic movement in Paris, became a photojournalist in London during the Blitz, and then a war correspondent during the second world war. She mutated through many lives - reinventing herself time and time again - and on each occasion she rose to the top. If she was operating at that level today - in any of these domains - she would be an A-list celebrity and would have a few million followers on instagram. She was a friend and lover to Man Ray, Picasso, British artist Roland Penrose and a quite a few other big names.

Great and very educational video! Thank you, Graeme! 9:13 Btw my late grandpa as a young man was captured in Ukraine by Germans and was sent to Dachau concentration camp. The stories he told me were horrific. It’s incredible that nearly a century later we have a war in Europe, we have starvation and torture of Ukrainian POWs and filtration camps for Ukrainian civilians, we have mass atrocities committed by Russians. Also we have brave and committed Ukrainian photographers documenting all this horror. Friendly reminder to the world: Russia’s war against Ukrainian people is still ONGOING

What a woman! Smart, tough, beautiful and completely her own person.

I’ve enthused about your videos before without knowing too much about the photographer. I have read extensively about Miller and can say that your summary was masterful. You are ridiculously talented

After watching your enthusiastic conversation about Lee Miller yesterday night I made a quick search for books about her work. Fortunately I found a fine used copy of The Lives of LEE MILLER by her son Anthony Penrose. I flipped through the book a couple of times and I am now very excited to dive deeper into her lives. THANK YOU very much for the conversation, Graeme.

Everything I’ve learned about Lee Miller in the past was only on the surface. Thanks for this! Some people are so courageous but complicated. She’s one of them.

One of your very best. So much in such a short presentation. Very much enjoyed. I probably saw the first publication of some of her atrocities images, never to be forgotten, and certainly her blitz images.

What an amazing life story. It reads like a Hollywood script.

Thank you very much for your valuable work! Mrs. Miller is the example of true feminism, the one who knows how to overcome all the obstacles and prejudices that our sexist culture imposes on everyone, regardless of whether we are women or men. I find her life and her work admirable. I would like those who watch your channel to take the time necessary to think about the deep content that you know how to transmit in each of your videos.

What an amazing woman. And all credit to Antony Penrose. His was the first biography of his mother (The Lives of Lee Miller) and, after a flood of subsequent books, it still stands up. I hope that one day you’ll be in a position to give us a treatment (in at least 2 parts?) of Edward Steichen…

Thank you for another fantastic video. I wonder whether you have any material on the work of Catherine LeRoy, it would be great to know your take on her career.
