Garry SHEAD'Poem' original signed etching, female muse collectable art nude

  
Throughout his career, Garry Shead has chased his erotic Muse. Transformed into an icon and celebrated as a goddess, he sees in her the biographical, mystical and spiritual. For Shead, his Muse gives visual identity to inner reality.

So vital did he believe inspiration was to a worthwhile life, he once quoted Dostoevsky, writing'The world will be saved by beauty. In this work, she emerges as a Poem or Erato, considered Shead's favoured iteration of the Muse. Collected by all public institutions, Shead has won the Archibald and Dobell prizes. Frolicking in the serious and profane, his work is at once poetic and interrogative.
