Lee Miller - In Hitler's Bathtub
In the show at museum Albertina, there are surrealistic photographs from her time in Paris on display, as well as fashion photographs and shocking pictures from World War II.
She documented the liberation of Buchenwald and Dachau and the war destruction of war in Germany and Austria. The photo of Lee Miller in Hitler's bathtub in his flat in Munich did not only get really famous, it was also an subversive act of disenchanting the dictator. In contrast to her colleagues, she wrote her on texts and documented the horrors from very close: corpses, liberated prisoners and also the ef-fects of US-bombing with napalm (these pictures were censored). Eventually she paid a heavy price, becoming an alcoholic and depressive for the rest of her life. She gave up photography and took up cooking. A large part of her war pictures were only found in 1980 by her son, three years after her death. (written by Cem Angeli) An exhibition portrait by CastYourArt. | castyourart.com
