Summary/Abstract: Art allows artists to express emotions, their outlook on the world. It depicts both the undiscovered and uncharted soul of each artist, and each ordinary viewer. For many Deaf artists it is a means by which they try to present the viewer their attitude toward the outside world. By art Deaf people show their distinct identity. The beginning of contemporary Deaf art is associated with the 1960s, yet it still remains unknown. Thus it is justified to study it and present its beauty to the hearing majority.
