Lee Miller

From the elegance of fashion studios to the ruins of World War II, this visionary photographer marked the history of the image with her uncompromising gaze. The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris dedicates, from April 10th to August 2nd, 2026, the most extensive French retrospective in twenty years to this free spirit of surrealism. In collaboration with the Tate Britain and the Art Institute of Chicago, the event brings together 250 prints, revealing previously unseen photographs and precious archives. Former muse turned intrepid war correspondent, she was able to capture the absurdity of the world with a stunning modernity. This chronological and thematic journey challenges the codes of documentary and artistic photography, offering a poignant testimony to the upheavals of the 20th century. A must-see event to grasp the magnitude of a talent that dared to brave all dangers, from the world of high society to battlefields.
