When Lee Miller
photographs the debris of buzz-bombing, she labels what she sees like a taxonomist.
Here you have a Broadwood piano under rubble, and she titles the picture “Piano
by Broadwood,” London, 1940. That’s all you need, but she
extends herself ever so slightly in a similar picture of a typewriter, Remington
Silent. After the victory she has
her picture taken in Hitler’s bath, and snaps various SS guards and
Nazi town officials who are dead by suicide or other means. She plants her
tripod just inside a ruin and calls it what it is, Cologne Cathedral. |
