Portrait Pulmonaire, 1975

 Item
Identifier: CC-16316-16666
Scope and Contents

de Charmoy's rubberstamped image of the shape of human lungs surrounding a colored photographic reproduction of a laboratory heart-lung preparation, was created by repetitively overstamping with red inked, leaf and flower images. They serve as a visual metaphor of breathing in the animal and plant kingdoms. The realistic image of the isolated heart-lung laboratory preparation provides a sharp contrast to the delicate appearance of the rubberstamped lungs. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
