Lee Miller ‘buried’ frontline war experiences, archive says ahead of show

Lee Miller, a courageous photographer from World War II, captured harrowing images of U.S. troops during their embeddings in Germany, confronting sexism and house arrest by British authorities. Her powerful visuals were censored due to perceived victory over war but aimed to highlight its lingering horrors. After returning, she struggled with PTSD and postnatal depression, yet her work faced disqualification. Meanwhile, photographers like Jesse Glazzard are offering intimate portraits of LGBTQ+ soldiers in Russia's conflict, contrasting traditional images. Both cases underscore the brutality of war and journalists' enduring quest for truth and visibility.
