FotoNostrum, The Mediterranean House of Photography, presents Lee Miller: Chronicles of War, an exhibition paying tribute to one of the most fascinating figures in 20th-century photography. The exhibition will be open to the public from January 17 to March 20, 2025.
The exhibition features 124 photographs that span the extraordinary career of Lee Miller. While it includes some of her iconic fashion photography, the main focus is her photojournalistic work during World War II. As an accredited correspondent for the U.S. Army, Miller documented historic moments with a unique perspective: the aftermath of the D-Day, the Liberation of Paris, the liberated concentration camps of Buchenwald and Dachau, and the ruins of cities devastated across Europe. Her images, raw and poignant, capture humanity amid horror and have been pivotal in understanding the atrocities of war and their consequences.
