| Summary: | For centuries, artists have been inspired by muses to create poignant works of art and literature. This beautifully illustrated volume is a celebration of these women and the artists they influenced. American Lee Miller was a successful New York fashion model before traveling to Paris to become the apprentice, lover and muse of surrealist artist and photographer Man Ray. Nancy Cunard, British writer, heiress and political activist captivated numerous members of the twentieth century's art and literary circles, including Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot. Parisian-born artist and poet Dora Maar had a profound influence on the work of her notorious lover, Pablo Picasso. |
