Fire Masks, Downshire Hill, London, 1941
Miller was born in 1907 in Poughkeepsie, New York State. She initially studied painting and stage design, but her time as one of the most sought-after models of the late 1920s inspired her to pursue photography. After stepping behind the lens, she became a leading figure in the avant garde scenes in New York, Paris, London and Cairo. The exhibition will showcase Miller’s extraordinary career, from her participation in French surrealism to her fashion and war photography
