Miller time
In her teens she was plucked from the path of an automobile by magazine magnate Conde Nast. Edward Steichen photographed her for Vogue. Frank Crowninshield, editor of Vanity Fair, was a mentor. For Lee Miller, blonde descendant of a Hessian mercenary, life was just beginning. At twenty-two, hair cropped, she cornered Man Ray in a Paris bar, and stayed with him three years. Now her own photographs, ranging from portraits of artists to pictures of death camps, are at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., through April 17.
