Moment Art: Wspólny druk oddechem (Joint Print with Breath) by Wincenty Dunikowski-Duniko, 1980

The artist who along with his wife registers his breath on glass is the artist who incorporates his privacy into the area of art.

The breath of life, soul, something that the Greek called "pneuma" is a proof of life; we bring a piece of glass closer to the lips of an unconscious person as to check whether this person still breathes, whether he/she is still alive. For Aristotle, the pneuma was a link between the non-material spirit and material flesh, a link that conveys life energy form the flesh to the spirit and from the spirit to the flesh; for Stoics – it was a force reviving not only human bodies but the entire universe. Grasping the breath means to capture the simplest, the most ephemeral and transitory thing, and at the same time to praise life for the life sake – to live means to breathe.

'Untitled #479'

1975 | Cindy Sherman 

Among Sherman's earliest works, Untitled #479 (1975) gives evidence of the creative mode that would become her signature.  It also reveals a telling affinity with Warhol's Photobooth Self-Portraits (ca.1963).  Sherman has identified this composite of 23 wallet-size pictures—made for a class assignment when she was still a student at Buffalo State College—as her "first serious work."

Nicola Samori.

Paintings by Nicola Samori.  Nicola's work focuses on tradition being broken which is achieved through his cutting and deforming of the Trompe L'oeil paintings that exist almost as an afterthought on the canvases.  But through their destruction Nicola has arrived at creation, also.  See more below:
