“I moved very well in front of the camera. My arms, my legs - I seemed able to do anything with them - I felt absolutely wonderful when I moved with Lillian. It was like being free - it was like being in heaven"
~ Barbara Mullen
(1927-2023)“There are models that are not models but muses. She had everything marvelous: a beautiful neck, grace, the ability to respond to me”
~ Lillian Bassman
(1917-2012)
We recently lost one of the great models of all time, the incomparable Barbara Mullen. She and Lillian Bassman enjoyed one of the great muse/artist relationships in the history of fashion photography. Rest in peace.
