“Living with him was like living at the centre of the universe. It was electrifying and humbling, blissful and destructive, all at the same time.”
Paris in 1936, and when Dora Maar, a talented French photographer, painter and poet, is introduced to Pablo Picasso, she is instantly mesmerized.
Drawn to his volcanic creativity, it isn’t long before she embarks on a passionate relationship with the Spanish artist that ultimately pushes her to the edge.
The Paris Muse by Louisa Treger is published in paperback on 27 March, 2025.
Louisa’s feature, Dora Maar: much more than a muse, gives this talented, troubled artist the recognition she deserves.
You’ll find much more historical fiction in Historia’s round-up of over 160 books published this year.
