LEE MILLER WWI PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION
STUNS VIEWERS WITH EMOTIONAL CONTENT

What: "Lee Miller: Photographer of War"
Description: Miller's wartime photographs formulate an important statement by an artist who viewed the canvas of war through Surrealist eyes and documented the event with photographs and essays. The melange formed by Miller's temperament, artistic background and training, personal relationships, as well as the fact that she photographed for elite Vogue magazine, rather than an arm of the "hard news" media, influenced the nature of her documents of the Second World War. This exhibition contains graphic war images.
Where: The Gallery at the Winter Center, Millersville
Gallery Hours: Monday through Friday, 1-7 p.m.; Saturday, 1-4 p.m.
Tickets: Free and open to the public.
