These works were commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. They depict a young, well-endowed nude model with a stylized figure of the lungs collaged over her chest. In a comic strip like bubble, the word, "Breathe" eminates from her mouth. One of these photographs was selected for an announcement card. The drawing that is not included with the mounted four photographs depicts another image of the lungs that can be collaged onto a photograph to create a different appearance as an option. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This brochure served as an announcement for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition to be held at the American Lung Association meeting in 1992 in Miami Beach and also as product information for Non-Invasive Monitoring Systems, a medical device company of which Sackner is CEO. Each brochure reproduced a work of the artist included in the exhibition and also a biographical sketch. The brochure is stored with the material, The Beauty In Breathing (photographs). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
