The Centre Pompidou is showcasing its collection of portraits of Lee Miller by Man Ray to illustrate her evolution from a Surrealist collaborator to an independent photographer. The museum's holdings include the circa 1930 silver gelatin print 'Lee Miller tête renversée,' marking the period when Miller transitioned from modeling for Vogue to mastering laboratory techniques and solarization. Miller later established her own New York studio in 1932 before serving as a war correspondent documenting the liberation of Dachau and Buchenwald.
