Commencing Wednesday September 25th, and continuing with weekly installments, Across The Margin / ATM Publishing will be sharing the entirety of Arthur Hoyle’s latest historical release, The Jealous Muse. The Jealous Muse explores the dynamics of artists’ relationships to their work and their immediate families. Through the life stories of nine major 20th century artists working in seven different artistic fields, The Jealous Muse presents versions of the interplay between family life and artistic creation. Nine internationally renowned artists — two women, three men, and two couples —are profiled in individual mini-biography chapters. The artists are: Anjelica Huston (acting), Edward Weston (photography), E. E. Cummings (literature), Maria Tallchief and George Balanchine (dance), Nina Simone (music), Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen (sculpture), and Henri Matisse (painting). Though all but one of the artists are American citizens, their high levels of artistic achievement have made them international celebrities. The Jealous Muse honors their accomplishments while detailing the personal struggles that have been exacted by their jealous muses as the price of fame.
