Breath Of Life is the name of this work, created by Hart in 1990. Hand in hand, man and woman step out
of the divine ether, taking on more and more shape, becoming aware of their surroundings. The mystic moment of becoming human,
captured in a magnificent sculpture (44 cm).

Frederick E. Hart
(1943 - 1999)
He united fine art with a deep sense of spirituality to create some truly distinctive works of art. Next to silver and bronze
(one of Hart's most well-known bronze pieces is "The Vietnam Veterans Memorial" in Washington) his medium of
choice was "Lucite", a clear acrylic glass, using it to create what he called "sculptures of light".
The ethereal appearance of this material inspired Frederick E. Hart to create truly great, powerful works that gently
speak of their inner mysticality and spirituality. The artist developed and patented a new technique of grinding and polishing
Lucite: light is absorbed by the sculpture and reflected by its surfaces, thus becoming an integral part of his perfect figures. Hart
saw something divine in his works of light and life: a sense of transitoriness that he captured in his art.

These two breath-taking sculptures, Duet, express a deep spiritual relationship and sense of unity.
In this work the artist, who was born in Atlanta, Georgia, celebrated the magical choreography that underlies most
relationships, modelling it with light in acrylic glass.

With the vision of beauty and illumination expressed in his figures, and his urge to nurture society with art, creating The
Cross of The Millennium was like a calling for Frederick E. Hart. This unique Lucite sculpture portrays
the three key events in the life of Christ as a single divine impulse:
the birth of Christ (symbolised in the star of Bethlehem, visible depending on how the viewer holds the cross);
the crucifixion;
the miracle of his resurrection and Jesus' triumph over death (symbolised in his heaven-ward gaze).
This sublime work of art is characteristic of
Hart's philosophy and faith and his unique position in modern sculpture.
