Modern Day Muses

Artists rely on a continual renewal of inspiration - a source of creative reserves. Nowadays technology provides a level playing field for artists, allowing them to have their finger on the pulse of contemporary culture to which they can respond creatively. But the story is always more interesting when there is a person and relationship that inspires the artistic endeavor. Here are some of my favorite 20th century artists with their muses.

Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick


Jean-Luc Godard and Ana Karina


Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith


Jean-Michel Basquiat and Suzanne Mallouk


Woody Allen and Diane Keaton
