This week, we’re stepping outside our Cabinet of Remedies for an excursion to Ménerbes in France to the house of Dora Maar. Dora Maar is now truly recognised as an artist in her own right, but for many years, she was known only as Picasso’s muse. We hope she won’t mind being a muse once more, but this time for our flash fiction writers.
The still life above was created by Marysia Lewandowska during her residency at the Dora Maar house, and this week for #flashfictionfriday we’re inviting you to create a piece of flash fiction based on this image. To hear more about Marysia’s experience, tune in to her podcast.
