Drawing Blood

Explore the haunting beauty of Lee Miller's surreal photographs of severed breasts, merging art and medicine in unsettling ways. The hosts dive into the uncanny aesthetics and feminist implications, questioning consent and objectification. They discuss Miller's complex legacy, her role as both muse and artist, and the chilling history of surgical photography. With humor and horror, the conversation reveals the tension between art and reality, challenging modern viewers to confront their discomfort with fragmented bodies.
