Yes, rejoice, those who believe that contemporary art simply has to be useful and teach people … well, at least something. American artist Dan Beckemeyer became the author of a very unusual art project called Systems, and it will be especially interesting for those who are seriously interested in medicine in general, and human anatomy, in particular. The artist, who specializes in graphic design, in the Systems project showed not only his talent as an artist, but also a jack of all trades. So, on handmade paper, he drew a human skeleton, and then illustrated the structure of the cardiovascular system on it with threads, and also supplemented the general picture with felt muscles, also felted with his own hand.
This work looks a little scary, especially the part with felt muscles - it resembles a dismemberment, and indeed a manual for medical students. But modern art did not bear that on its shoulders, which means that the non-standard art project with a medical bias Systems will find its place in history.
