Flavorpill have written a fascinating account of the 'enchanting, free-spirited, tortured men and women' that inspired artists to do great work. Ranging from Marie-Therese Walter whose love affair with Picasso influenced his emotive Cubist style, to Francis Bacon's twisted companionship with his gay lover George Dyer all the way to Leonardo Da Vinci's patient servant Gian Giacomo whose serenity and calm translated into beautiful portraits. They tell a curious story of the true influence behind these great works of art. Definitely worth a read.
