Arthur Danto, Perishable art is about the ephemeral nature of being because time has an elegiac and mystical intensity
Nothing will last to the end of art.
Jean Michel Basquiat, Even transience of time is ephemeral
Mirror as metaphor in art
Physical and emotional effects converge in all images to suggest the transience of life.
