is so extraordinary that accounts often border on the fantastical. As a 19-year-old art student living in New York in 1927, Miller was almost killed when she stepped into oncoming traffic – she was rescued by none other than Condé Nast, the famed publisher. She left an impression. Months later, Miller appeared on the covers of both American and British.
It’s easy to place the artist in a sort of otherworldly category – after all, who lives this kind of life, especially today? But she was more than daring, and certainly more than lucky.
