In 1937 and 1939, Lee Miller photographed Leonora Carrington during two crucial moments in her life: the euphoria of her passionate love for Max Ernst and her artistic development on the brink of war. This text examines the relationship between the two artists, both of whom rejected the traditional role of the muse in favor of pursuing their own identities. Through her photography, Miller captures Carrington’s transformation, highlighting her evolution from being a surrealist's companion to becoming the central figure of her own creative vision.

Through her photography, Miller captures Carrington’s transformation, highlighting her evolution from being a surrealist's companion to becoming the central figure of her own creative vision.
