From Vogue covers to war zones, Lee Miller’s journey was anything but ordinary. How did one woman go from modeling in Paris to documenting the horrors of Dachau with an artist’s eye and a journalist’s grit? Get ready to discover the fascinating life and enduring impact of a photographer who shattered expectations — and brought the realities of World War II into sharp focus.

Join [New York Adventure Club](https://www.nyadventureclub.com "https://www.nyadventureclub.com") as we deconstruct the extraordinary trajectory of Lee Miller (1907–1977), a pioneering figure who transitioned from fashion icon to frontline war correspondent, capturing indelible moments of courage, devastation, and resilience through her lens during one of history’s most turbulent eras.

Led by art historian Tosca Ruggieri, our virtual exploration of Lee Miller's life and legacy will include:

* **Miller’s early years**, including her upbringing in New York and rise to fame as a high-fashion model in the 1920s and ’30s
* **A discussion around her pivotal role in the Surrealist movement** and how collaborations with artists like Man Ray helped forge her creative identity
* **A review of her transition into war photography**, and how she documented World War II for *Vogue* with rare access and a striking perspective
* **An analysis of her most impactful images**, from the London Blitz to the liberation of Paris and the haunting aftermath of concentration camps
* **An examination of how Miller challenged traditional narratives**, redefining both the role of women in photography and the visual documentation of conflict
* **Insights into her postwar life**, and the lasting influence of her work on photojournalism and art history

Afterward, we'll have a **Q&A with Tosca** — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

**About Tosca**
Growing up amongst the artistic treasures of North-Eastern France and Tuscany, art inspired Tosca from an early age. This led her to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Art History in Paris as well as a Master’s Degree in Art & Archaeology from EPHE-Sorbonne. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Arts & Cultural Management from King’s College London.
After a career in art galleries across London and teaching art history at French universities, Tosca embarked on creating Art with Tosca to share her passion for art. In D.C., Tosca crafts and leads curated tours of the National Gallery of Art, highlighting the museum’s collection of masterpieces from the Italian Renaissance to Modern masters.
Tosca wants to make art history accessible, interesting and engaging by transporting guests through centuries of art, either from the comfort of home through numerous lectures and virtual events, or locally in Washington D.C. through the halls of the National Gallery of Art.
