Lee Miller (1907–1977), on view at at Tate Britain.

How magic to see the work of the American-born photographer, whose career spanned Surrealism in 1920s Paris (developing photographic techniques like solarisation); depression-era studio work; Egypt in the 1930s; and the Second World War: as a correspondent for British Vogue (capturing its horrors, reality, and women's vital contribution).

Miller, whose life ran concurrently with the 20th century, witnessed it all – and this show is a record of someone who lived it all. Who was fearless, but glamorous, groundbreaking and daring.

Her story is unmatched in art history: the subject of The Great Women Artists Podcast, for which I was lucky enough to interview Lee's granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane. (Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/p…)

Her father (Lee's son), Antony, only discovered his mother's photographic career after she died in 1977. Following the war she shut everything away, swapping her lenses for a career as a chef...

Seeing all these works together tonight was special 🖤 It was like revisiting old friends, but there were new ones too.

Lee's career is unparalleled. Her determination unmatched.

Don't miss ❤️
