Granddaughter of Iconic Photographer, Lee Miller joins me today to share how Lee continually broke boundaries for Women and created her own rules during an incredible career from Vogue Model, Photographer/Studio Owner to War Correspondent and even in her later life, a Celebrity Chef.    “Lee never let things kick her when she was down - instead of kind of sitting there and moaning about having a ruined career she instead chose to turn it into an opportunity”   Join us to discover the Mysteries of Reinvention that Lee Miller embodied and how she continually created networks and opportunities for herself :    “She kind of utilised this network right through her life and built on it “    Lee was intent on creating her own rules and to have the right to be able Convey and express her own ideas in world where there was not common place for women    “In 1930, it was completely unheard of for a woman to have her own studio (and business) as a photographer, which is only now becoming more equally represented with women”   “Lee wasn't going to be held back by these ridiculous things that society put on her - if they can do it, then I can do it too”     Ami Bouhassane       Ami is also the author of several books about Lee and co-director of Farleys House and Gallery Ltd which houses the Lee Miller Archives, Penrose collection as well as Farleys House and Gallery which is well worth a visit.     This week on She Rebel Radio :  How Lee reinvented herself throughout her career  The power of networking and creating opportunities Why Lee also surrounded herself with female friends and colleagues How and why Lee refused to follow the rules for women How childhood and trauma both influenced and caused struggle for Lee How you can support Farleys and Lee Miller Archives :  https://www.farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk/lovelee-membership/    Connect with Lee Miller Archives and Farleys House and Gallery    Farley House and Gallery : Fashion podcast can be found on Acast, Spotify and on Farley’s Website here :   https://www.farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk/events/ For exclusive access to additional Videos and Podcast www.patreon.com/leemillerarchives    Farleys House and Gallery :  Twitter https://twitter.com/FarleysHG Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/farleyshg/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/FarleysHG   Lee Miller Archives  Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/leemillerarchives/ Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/LeeMillerArchivesuk The Woman who broke Boundaries Exhibition in America - ‘SHE IS LEE’ https://thedali.org/exhibit/photographer-lee-miller/     All Images :  © Lee Miller Archives, England 2021.

Lee Miller: Fashion in Wartime Britain, an interview with Ami Bouhassane and Amber Butchart

In Episode 05 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews Ami Bouhassane on the life and work of her grandmother: the model turned surrealist, photographer, war correspondent and all-round 20th century artistic giant, LEE MILLER!!And WOW will this episode blow you away. Especially when you hear that Ami’s father, Antony Penrose, was unaware of his mother’s professional photographic life until after she passed away in 1977...Born in 1907, Lee Miller first entered the world of photography in New York after falling into the arms of Conde Nast on a Manhattan street. It didn't take long before she was already on her way to Paris, in particular the studio of Man Ray, with whom she created some of the most iconic surrealist photography.Fast forward to 1932 and she's back in NYC at the height of the depression where she excelled running her own commercial photographic studio. Off again, back to Paris via Egypt, and then the UK at the outbreak of World War II, where Lee quickly adopted the role of a war correspondent, photographing on the front line, but also ensuring that she was recording women’s contribution to the war. However life took a turn after witnessing some of the most horrific scenes that war was to bring.I couldn’t be more delighted to interview Ami on her grandmother who is one of the MOST remarkable artists to live, whose story needs to be told, AND whose work needs to be seen. We recorded the episode down at Farley's Farm, on the site of Miller’s former home, where where Ami and her father Antony continue to run the archive, gallery (that you can visit!), and ensure the legacy of the great Lee Miller.
