Synopsis:

From the moment artists decided to sketch a pretty female face rather than a buffalo on a cave wall, they needed muses. From ancient Greece—when the nine goddess daughters of Zeus motivated artistic achievement—to today, the muse’s face or fashion or innate grace or mystery has come to inhabit the minds of some of the greatest artists of all time, and whose inspiration has seen some of the greatest art created. In this edition of the Masters of Photography series Vol 51 we look at the Muses of the greatest photographers and artists of all time.
