Lee Miller
Chairs
c. 1929
Lee Miller's 'Chairs' is a gelatin silver print from her Surrealist Paris years in the 1930s, in which ordinary empty chairs are transformed into an uncanny still life by sharp geometric cropping and compressed perspective. It belongs to the experiments Miller developed alongside Man Ray that helped define Surrealist photography. The Art Institute of Chicago holds the print among its early 20th-century photography holdings.
