The Makings of a Muse
muse1
myo͞oz/
A muse is a woman, or a force personified as a woman, who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
These women were more than companions or wives. They inspired artists with passion and creativity.
Through art, music and literature you can feel the power of their strength and femininity.
Our muse is Saraswati, who is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music, arts, wisdom and nature.
She is depicted as a beautiful woman to embody the concept of knowledge as supremely alluring.
Here is a list of some of our favourite muses throughout history that had a major impact on the world of art, music and fashion.
Gala Dali
It has been said that Gala Dali saved Dali from his own madness.
He has signed his paintings with both of their names as well as "it is mostly with your blood, Gala, that I paint my pictures."
Pattie Boyd
Pattie Boyd was described by the New York Times as "The Muse Who Made the Guitars Gently Weep."
She was the women behind the love song "Something" by George Harrison of the Beatles but later left him for Eric Clapton after he wrote "Layla" for her. Eric and Pattie later married, and she inspired him to write the song "Wonderful Tonight." This impressive list of love songs proves her title as a true musicians muse.
Edie Sedgwick
Edie Sedgwick was an American heiress, socialite, actress, and fashion model but was best known as Artist Andy Warhol's muse. He was fascinated by her lifestyle and beauty. She quickly became the star of many of his short films, filmed at his studio 'The Factory' in the 1960's.
