 Item
Identifier: CC-23368-23810

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.
