Measure by Holding Pencil Always at Arm's Length / Bee, Susan., 1988

 Item
Identifier: CC-23368-23810
Scope and Contents

In this surrealistic drawing, the lungs are depicted as an image projector, with the external upper half of the torso as that image. A caption and a schematic of the eye imply that the artist is drawing or painting that image. The overall effect of Bee's drawing appears to relate to Hans Arp's ideas of the importance of breathing rhythms to the creation of art. This drawing appears in the periodical, Generator No.3. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

In her opening essay, "An Infinite Play of Empty Mirrors; Women, Surrealism, and Self-Realization," Chadwick writes that the rediscovery of Claude Cahun in the early 1980s is accompanied with a critical rereading of historical Surrealism.
