This essay is intended to remind of, or rather to extract from oblivion, art, which was last displayed fifty years ago, in 1960, in New York. Arthur C. Danto before he became a philosopher was first and foremost an artist. He created black and white woodcuts, in which he managed to combine two different traditions of imaging German Expressionism and the New York school of Action Painting. This art is valuable not only because it belongs to the achievements of one of the most respected contemporary philosophers of art and art critics. Danto's artistic oeuvre is an excellent example of painterly woodcuts, balancing on the border of figurative and abstract. Also, an important, so far ignored fact, is that this artistic experience had a significant effect on the formation of Arthur C. Danto philosophical theories. So Baroque Figure, Elder, and other prints by Danto, preceded and prepared an innovative interpretation of Warhol's Brillo Boxes.
