Muse,
in Greco-Roman religion and mythology, any of a group of sister goddesses of
obscure but ancient origin, in Boeotia, Greece. They were born in Pieria, at
the foot of Mount Olympus. Very little is known of their cult, but they had a
festival every four years at Thespiae. They probably were originally the patron
goddesses of poets, although later their range was extended to include all
liberal arts and sciences—hence, their connection with such institutions as the
Museum (Mouseion, seat of the Muses) at Alexandria, Egypt. There were nine
Muses as early as Homer’s Odyssey, and Homer invokes either a Muse or the Muses
collectively from time to time. More on Muses
Robert Brackman (September 25, 1898 – July
16, 1980) was an American artist and teacher of
Ukrainian origin, best known for large figural works, portraits, and still
lifes. Born in Odes'ka
Oblast, Ukraine, he emigrated from the Russian Empire in 1908.
Brackman
studied at the National Academy of Design from 1919 to 1921, and the Ferrer
School in San Francisco. From 1931, he had a long career teaching at the Art
Students League of New York where he was a life member. He also taught at the
American Art School in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum School, the Lyme
Academy College of Fine Arts, and the Madison Art School in Connecticut. In
1932, Brackman was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate
member, and became a full member in 1940.
