In this B&H Event Space video, Eileen Rafferty discusses the significance of the creative muse, and its importance to the artmaking process. After a brief overview of the creative muse in ancient history, Rafferty introduces three artist-muse pairs from 20th Century photo/art history, examining the range of influence the muse can play on the artist, and how this influence manifests in the visual work. She then describes her own experiences with a creative muse, noting the importance this had in her life and work. After watching, you will be inspired to look back at your own creative practice, and to examine the visual styles and influences that occur over time, which may have been hiding in plain sight.
