Lee Miller. Picasso in Private

Lee Miller met Picasso in 1937 and from that moment until the artist's death, the American photographer took nearly one thousand photos - over a hundred of which are included in this catalogue - showing the private Picasso and his world. The extremely intimate account given by Antony Penrose - Lee and Roland's son - is particularly interesting, where he recalls the unique experience of living with Picasso through the eyes of a boy. In addition, two texts on Picasso are also reproduced: a piece by Lee Miller from 1960, for an exhibition of the artist held in London, and another unpublished piece written by Roland Penrose.
