Lee Miller and Roland Penrose, lovers, in the summer of 1937, lived in Mougins village above Cannes near Picasso's studio. Miller was probably staged their pose: Paul Éluard kiss Nusch Éluard, Penrose and Man Ray look bored. - Manet's female nude is thought to be Victorine Meurent, his favorite model, subject of Olympia. The male figure on the right was based on a combination of his two brothers, Eugène and Gustave. The other man is based on his brother-in-law, Dutch sculptor Ferdinand Leenhoff. By portraying an ordinary scene on such a large scale, Manet validated the seemingly mundane subjects, inspiring Impressionists like Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir to follow suit with Water Lilies and The Luncheon of the Boating Party, respectively.

This photograph by Roland was taken shortly after the two first met in Paris, 1937. A summer of creativity and hedonism followed; Roland organised a Surrealist gathering in Cornwall. The party later swapped one coast for another and visited Picasso in France, where he was spending the summer with artist Dora Maar. Here, Lee and Roland, alongside Paul and Nusch Éluard, Man Ray and Fidelin, and Eileen Agar and Joseph Bard, spent the days swimming, sunbathing and celebrating.

Man Ray Nusch Éluard, Paris 1935

The sentiments apparent The lightness of approach The tresses of caresses.

Without worry or suspicion Your eyes confide in what they see Seen by what they gaze at.

Confidence of crystal Between two mirrors At night your eyes are lost To fuse waking to desire.

--Paul Éluard, "Nusch"
