Lee Miller archives: https://leemiller.co.uk

By the time she was in her 30s, Lee Miller had lived more lives than most of us manage in a lifetime. She had been a model for Vogue, a photographer - protege, lover and muse of Man Ray and other artists - an artist in her own right, a photojournalist, and a war correspondent, and later still she would reinvent herself as a gourmet cook.

Great Art Explained I'm James Payne, a curator, gallerist and a passionate art lover. I am on a mission to demystify the art world and discover the stories behind the world’s greatest paintings and sculptures. Each episode will focus on one piece of art and break it down, using clear and concise language free of 'art-speak'. Help to support this channel and keep it free. Subscribe to Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=53686503 Or make a donation via PayPal using my email Jamespayne33@hotmail.com (remember to tick "friends/family" or there's a fee). Thank you! Sometimes the art work is a springboard for other wider issues I would like to explore, and sometimes it is a simple exploration of techniques and meaning. For me, setting the works in context helps us appreciate them more. Make sure to subscribe and click the notification bell so you never miss a video!
