O tym produkcie
Product Information
Lee Miller's life embodied all the contradictions and complications of the twentieth century: a model and photographer, muse and reporter, sexual adventurer and domestic goddess, she was also America's first female war correspondent. Carolyn Burke, a biographer and art critic, here reveals how the muse who inspired Man Ray, Cocteau, and Picasso could be the same person who unflinchingly photographed the horrors of Buchenwald and Dachau. Burke captures all the verve and energy of Miller's life: from her early childhood trauma to her stint as a Vogue model and art-world ing nue, from her harrowing years as a war correspondent to her unconventional marriages and passion for gourmet cooking. A lavishly illustrated story of art and beauty, sex and power, Modernism and Surrealism, Lee Miller illuminates an astonishing woman's journey from art object to artist.

Reviews
"If, like Auntie Mame, you believe that ''Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death,'' you''ll surely want to read Carolyn Burke''s delightful biography of Lee Miller. . . . Delightful, meticulously researched, fascinating.… Miller's life had many phases, all of them interesting, and Burke captures them in [this] fine biography."- Washington Post Book World, "A biographer couldn't ask for a more compelling subject, and Lee Miller couldn't have asked for a more insightful and eloquent biographer. Carolyn Burke writes with lucidity and energy. As adept a storyteller as she is an ardent scholar, she is generous with details yet never gets bogged down. Fluent in the nuances of ambiguity and cued to the obdurateness of paradox, she provides thoughtful and measured analysis that is genuinely enlightening and never intrusive . . . Miller's story of personal reinvention and artistic evolution blazes right along, and Burke feeds the flames with just the right mix of straight-ahead chronicling and shrewd commentary, steering the reader to the apex of Miller's life, her courageous and artistic response to World War II . . . No one who reads Burke's involving biography will ever forget Miller. So visually rich and electrifying is her story, a movie version seems inevitable. But whatever interpretations the future may bring, Burke's vital and incisive portrait will be the wellspring. Demonstrating the same clarity of observation and sensitivity to subtleties that distinguish Miller's photographs, Burke indelibly portrays a radiant woman forced to look into the heart of darkness, and an artist who cast light on a brutalized world, illuminating its abiding beauty and grace, and enhancing our empathy and awe." -"Chicago Tribune" "Delightful, meticulously researched, fascinating . . . [Miller] was a woman who needed no exhortation from anyone to "Live! Live!" Her life was filled with adventures . . . Miller's life had many phases, all of them interesting, and Burke captures them in [this] fine biography." -"Washington Post Book World" "Compelling, riveting . . . It seems fitting that Carolyn Burke, whose first biography corrected history's error of undervaluing the avant-garde poet and artist Mina Loy, has written "Lee Miller: A Life. "[Miller is] a forgotten visionary photographer who was muse and lover to some of the most influential artists of the early 20th century, as well as one of the few women able to transcend this role and become an artistic force in her own right . . . The photograph that may give the truest glimpse into Miller's nature is a portrait shot in Hitler's bathtub . . . A woman caught between horror and beauty, between being seen and being the seer." -"New York Times Book Review " "At last, a life and an album about Lee Miller, one of the most beautiful women who ever lived . . . A remarkable book . . . [Burke] lets the facts speak for themselves. And the facts are vivid . . . For the first time the ravaged arc of Lee Miller's life is clear, beautiful but lined in pain." -"New York Observer ""Fascinating, remarkable, memorable . . . [A] singular life . . . It's one of the great joys of reading: a story about someone you've never heard of, giving you insight into something you didn't know you cared about. That's the gift from author Carolyn Burke . . . A captivating read, one that raises questions in the reader's mind about how things have changed-and how they've stayed the same-in women's lives over the past century . . . Burke's book is what biography ought to be . . . "Lee Miller: A Life "belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in how people of [Miller's] generation dealt with their times." -"Santa Cruz Sentinel" "[Lee Miller's] peregrinations reminded me ofinnumerable others'-Lillian Hellman, Martha Gellhorn, Rebecca West, and Jill Craigie . . . [But] of all the women I have in mind, Miller strikes me as the most heroic. [Miller's photographs] dramatize art and history, making both more accessible . . . Burke brilliantly draws on Miller's own history to understand the photograph [of Miller in Hitler's bathtub]. Gellhorn, Hellman, West, and Sontag never acknowledged just how self-conscious they were about writing themselves into the world's consciousness. Miller is their superior in understanding what it meant to model yourself after ot, "If, like Auntie Mame, you believe that 'Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death, ' you'll surely want to read Carolyn Burke's dfelightful biography of Lee Miller. . . . Delightful, meticulously researched, fascinating.. Miller's life had many phases, all of them interesting, and Burke captures them in [this] fine biography."-"Washington"" Post Book World", "Lee Miller went through life as a serial dazzler, adopting and shedding…guises a chameleon might envy."-Janet Maslin, New York Times, At last, a life and an album about Lee Miller. . . . For the first time the ravaged arc of [her] life is clear, beautiful but lined in pain., Carolyn Burke's startling achievement is to document each persona with empathy and insight, to embed them all in time and place, and to weave the whole together into an absorbing narrative. . . . The result is an engrossing double portrait, a subtle analysis of two enigmas: Miller herself and the exhilarating and appalling century in which she lived., "If, like Auntie Mame, you believe that 'Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death,' you'll surely want to read Carolyn Burke's delightful biography of Lee Miller. . . . Delightful, meticulously researched, fascinating. . . .

Burke is neither an art critic nor an expert in photography, but she does know how to enlist psychological insights as keys to her narrative., " Lee Miller went through life as a serial dazzler, adopting and shedding... guises a chameleon might envy." -- Janet Maslin, "New York Times", No one who reads Burke's involving biography will ever forget Miller.
