AIR, A PHYSICAL MATTER* WITHIN THE CONTEMPORARY ARTIST’S REACH

Abstract

Air as an archetype is another work element of the contemporary artist. Conceptually, concern for Air and “ its spiritual regularities” comes from an illustrious line of European thought. It is seen with Paracelsus, Leonardo Da Vinci, Nietzsche, Jung or J.C. Cooper. Since visual representations from the second half of the twentieth century are extremely numerous, we are going to illustrate only a small number of works by artists who used this “physical matter” (Air) in their artistic expression.
