Artists which show passage of time?

I was wondering if anyone could give me some names of artists and work which shows the passage of time. It can be Seasons, Day and Night, or simply how a flower or piece of fruit changes. Thanks!

Artists which show passage of time?
Anya Gallaccio's work has shown ideas of decay and melting ice. Some of her work can be seen here:

Andy Goldsworthy's work might also be worth having a look at -he does sculptures of natural objects (such as ice, or arrangements of coloured leaves) which only 'exist' in that state for a short amount of time.

Reply:Self-Portrait by Norman Rockwell. very famous---very very funny. If you find it---I win this one hands-down.


The Housewife's Lament---find it on a simple Yahoo search


an artist who shows the passage of time? Keith Richards.
Reply:Salvador Dali.
Reply:"The Dance" a poem by the celebrated reclusive American writer and poet, Linda J Cirillo.
Reply:All of Picasso's works were analogous to either political


happenings at the time or his ever changing residences


and mistresses, or his interests in new art forms that were


in style at various times during his life. A book by David


Douglas Duncan, a photographer that chronicled his


life is a good source.
Reply:In a single frame: Gauguin's "Where Do We Come From? What are We? Where are We Going?".





As a series, Rembrandt's self portraits.
Reply:Edvard Munch's 'Woman in three stages' shows the passage of time relating to women. It depicts the virgin, the temptress and the crone and relates to the pagan calendar. The virgin represents spring, the temptress summer and the crone is autumn. The figure in the far right hand side of the picture is Munch himself, scared and intimidated by the women. It is a very beautiful, allegorical painting which I think would meet your criteria.
Reply:He is mainly a photographer but if you learn more about him his work really challenges the concept of time in art and can help you brainstorm in any medium---David Hockney, look him up.
