Dora Maar (1907-1997; with Picasso 1936-1944)
Picasso's fifth muse fought off Marie Therese for his affections. Born Henriette Theodora Markovitch, of Croatian and French descent. A talented artist and photographer, this Surrealist icon – powerfully portrayed by Man Ray – had a tragic air, caused, Picasso believed, by her inability to have children. She ended her days surrounded by dust-encrusted relics of her time with Picasso.
