Man Ray | Lee Miller, Partners in Surrealism on view from June 11 through December 4, 2011 at the Peabody Essex Museum, Special Exhibition Galleries, East India Square (161 Essex St), Salem, Massachusetts.

From 1929 to 1932, Man Ray and Lee Miller — two giants of the European Surrealism movement — lived together in Paris, first as teacher and student, and later as lovers. Their mercurial relationship resulted in some of the most powerful work of each artist’s career, and helped shape the course of modern art and photography. Combining rare vintage photographs, paintings, sculpture and drawings, this exhibition tells the story of the artists’ brief but intense association and reveals the nature of their creative partnership.
