Description
The Spectrum Muse was designed and created for �Spectrum� For the last two years it has been awarded annually for each of nine juried categories in the book. This design is based on the idea of the artist�s muse. Of the nine muses in ancient Greek mythology, there was not a muse for the visual arts - in those times, painters and sculptors were considered merely technicians who copied nature. Given the incredible range of imagination and creativity demonstrated by the artists in the fields of imaginative realism, it seemed the perfect opportunity to create the Muse of Creation to reward their achievements.Around the base of the sculpture is this invocation: �Sing within me Muse. Dwell in my imagination. Inspire me to bring forth my creations.�
