  during the late-1920s and early 1930s when she was the muse and lover of 
 Man Ray\, her unique portraits of a desert landscape taken in and around E
 gypt in the 1930s\, and her witty yet poignant and often disturbing images
  taken during the Second World War and its aftermath\, are often discussed
 . Yet\, while popularity in Miller’s complex life and photographic work 
 is rapidly growing\, especially with the release of the new Kate Winslet b
 iopic LEE\, her true worth as a Surrealist artist in her own right remain

 th the Surrealists\, but one of the Twentieth Century’s most important a
 nd influential female Surrealist artists.\nAbout the speaker:\n\nDr Lynn H
