Listen to my chat with Ami Bouhassane, Granddaughter of Artist, Model & WW2 Correspondent, Lee Miller

Episode 604: I was so excited to find my new favorite historical artist…Lee Miller! She was a photographer and a war correspondent for Vogue in WW2. She hung out with Picasso and Man Ray…& she took a picture of herself in Hitler’s bathtub on the day he happened to commit suicide. Listen as I chat with author and co-director of Farleys House and Gallery, [Lee’s old house, which has been converted to a museum and archive of Lee’s work in Sussex, England] and Lee’s Granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane.

Cover Photo: Scherman’s iconic photograph of Miller sitting in the bathtub in Adolf Hitler’s private apartment in Munich, with the dried mud of that morning’s visit to Dachau on her boots deliberately dirtying Hitler’s bathroom, was taken in the evening on 30 April 1945, coincidentally the same day that Hitler committed suicide.
