Finding the Muse explores the lives of a group of aspiring artists
from the mid-1960s, when they completed art school, to the
mid-1980s, focusing especially on problems of artistic creativity
as they relate to such issues as the mystique of the artist, the
challenge of establishing community among artists, the place of the
art market in the construction of artistic identity, and the limits
and possibilities of modern and postmodern art itself. The present
exploration is a timely one; for despite the wealth of information
suggesting that recent decades have brought an unparalleled measure
of freedom for artists owing to the increasingly pluralistic
climate within which they have lived and worked, it is suggested
here that this climate has been decidedly less conducive to
creativity than is often assumed. By identifying salient problems
of contemporary artistic creativity, Mark Freeman seeks both to
reconstruct more optimal conditions of creativity and to provide
direction for how these conditions might be achieved. In addition
to having particular usefulness for psychologists of art and
sociologists of American culture, Finding the Muse will be of
interest to aspiring artists, philosophers, art historians, and art
educators.
