What an incredible day, spent in the (virtual) company of some of the people I love the most (over the phone) and the most interesting artists.
People say they're bored in lockdown, but, boy, there is so much to do now... to prepare for, to debrief, to capture, to revisit, to forgive, to let go of, to comprehend, to grow from...
Among these many extraordinary people: Fabienne Verdier and lee Miller, still so intrigued by such strong creators, and my deepest love to the geniuses I've met in the past for real, an unforgettable experience...
Lee Miller - A Life on the Front Line - BBC Documentary
When Lee Miller returned to New York from Europe in October 1932, newspaper reporters were waiting to greet her as her ship docked. Disembarking in a smart beret and fur-collared coat, she smiled for the journalist from the New York World-Telegram. When he referred to her as 'one of the most photographed girls in Manhattan', she retorted, 'I'd rather take a picture than be one.' Lee Miller is one of the most remarkable female icons of the 20th century. A model turned photographer turned war reporter, Miller chose to live her life by her own rules. This film celebrates a subject who defied anyone who tried to pin her down, put her on a pedestal or pigeonhole her in any way. It tells the story of a trailblazer, often at odds with the morality of the day, who refused to be subjugated by the dominant male figures around her.
