Interesting thread! Artists and their muses always fascinate me in their special bond.
One that comes to mind is Pablo Picasso & Dora Maar, who was one of Pablo's mistresses.
pictured with Picasso's "The Weeping Woman" (1937)
"Dora Maar in an Armchair", "Dora Maar au chat", "Dora Maar seated"
Dora Maar encouraged Pablo to be more daring in his art, and he began experimenting with bright colors and geometric shapes.
