Lee Miller is now recognized as an accomplished photographer and artist who covered some of the most intense scenes of World War II. But for a while, she served mostly as a muse for other people's art. After a tumultuous childhood, Lee reinvented herself in multiple different ways and eventually found herself working with, and making friend with, some of the biggest names in the art world like Pablo Picasso and Man Ray. Despite her success later in life as a war correspondent, Lee died before her art was truly recognized. But after she passed, her son Antony discovered her works and made sure to get them to people who would truly appreciate them.
