    1937 could be named ‘the summer of love‘ for Lee Miller, Roland Penrose, who had recently met for the first time & their friends, Max Ernst, Leonora Carrington, Picasso, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Ady Fidelin and more. This facsimile of Lee and Roland’s photograph albums shows their summer holiday together as portrayed in the 2024 feature film LEE and demonstrates the freedom and friendship of these artists as World War Two looms on the horizon.
