Photographer Lee Miller crammed more into her life than most — she was a model, a journalist and a surrealist muse (those are her lips in Man Ray's A l'heure de l'observatoire, les amoureux). The V&A commemorates the centenary of Miller's birth with an exhibition that charts her colourful life with more than 140 works, including lesser-known drawings, collages, film extracts and magazine pages. Miller shone both in front of and behind the camera: she was the 1927 Vogue cover girl and the only official photojournalist in WWII's combat zones. This exhibition features the full spectrum of her photographic work, from shots of Picasso and Charlie Chaplin to war portraits and nudes.
