Truth, trauma and surrealism.

Antony Penrose, is a photographer, author, rewilder and Co-director of The Penrose Collection and the Lee Miller Archives at Farleys House & Gallery, his childhood home in Sussex. Antony conserves and shares the extraordinary work of his parents. His father Sir Roland Penrose was a surrealist painter, poet, biographer and a major collector of modern art. His mother, Lee Miller, moved from being in front of the camera as a Vogue super model by today’s standards, to behind it as both a surrealist and highly significant WWII frontline war photographer. Oscar winner, Kate Winslet, will play Lee Miller in the forthcoming film, 'Lee.' Antony talks about biting Picasso, the courage of conviction and we discuss how 'curiosity is the most important thing in the world.' We discuss how surrealism and Lee's WWII war photography championed honesty and truth, however brutal.
