Photography by Lee Miller, as seen in Petit Ermitage, West Hollywood, CA
Portrait of Space
'Portrait of Space' was taken on Lee Miller's trip to the Siwa oasis in 1937. The portrait is of a landscape, not a person, though the shape of the clouds recalls the lips of Miller floating in the sky, and two hillocks on the right can be seen as a pair of eyes. The gaping hole in the fly screen is also a kind of eye, opening on the scene. It can be found at Petit Ermitage.
