Creativity and Resilience
A woman stretches upwards, face tipped back, arms reaching towards the sky, her entire form shimmering silver. Shot in 1942, this striking solarised portrait isnât what comes to mind when you think of Lee Millerâs (1907-1977) wartime work for
British Vogue â hard hitting reportage showing weary nurses on the frontline, women accused of collaboration and ex-prisoners of the newly liberated Dachau concentration camp. But she also shot a great many fashion editorials for the magazine during this time â and this, less familiar, aspect to Millerâs wartime work is the focus of an exhibition opening at Farleyâs House and Garden.
