Insights into the home of surrealists Lee Miller and Roland Penrose. Following the austere and traumatic years of World War II, surrealists Lee Miller and Roland Penrose made their home at Farleys in the Sussex countryside. Penrose, a painter, author, and collector, and Miller, a photographer and war correspondent, moved to Farleys not to settle down, but to create, entertain, and inspire. In this book their son, Antony Penrose, recalls visitors and occasions at Farleys with a fascinating insight into his parents' lives. This accessible book includes images of the array of visitors during the 1950s against the backdrop of Farleys as it transforms from a traditional farmhouse into a twentieth-century international hub of art with unexpected innovative decoration, surreal living, and daring.

A Surrealist before she even knew of the movement, Lee Miller was one of the most original photographic artists of the twentieth century. David E. Scherman, LIFE photographer and Miller's close friend, described her as "caustically brilliant, yet totally loyal, unpretentious, human and intolerant of sham. She was a consummate artist and a consummate clown; at once an upstate New York hick and cosmopolitan grande dame; a cold, soignée fashion model and a hoyden. . . . She was the nearest thing I knew to a mid-20th century renaissance woman." The Surrealist eye informed everything Miller did, and her work presents the world in a way that encourages us to view it in a different manner. Written and collected by her son Antony, Surrealist Lee Miller amasses more than one hundred full-page images from throughout the artist's life as an attestation to her wonderful way of seeing.
