...Never underestimate teenage cave people, I guess.<br /><br />But yes, it's interesting how much of the earliest representative art had so little to do with people. That's one thing that would change a lot by the time of the Egyptians and Greeks.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590397694589547524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499771778569209667.post-15720852342986063072011-02-05T17:36:58.847-08:002011-02-05T17:36:58.847-08:00It's kind of amusing to see something like thi...It's kind of amusing to see something like this and the remember the cave paintings at <a href="http://www.visual-arts-cork.com/prehistoric/lascaux-cave-paintings.htm" rel="nofollow">Lascaux</a> which are 40k + years old and some of the most beautifully rendered realistic animals imaginable. Even Picasso on seeing the site said, 'They've seen everything'. Of course, there's only one representation of a human among all the art which makes it appear they didn't take people too seriously - except, of course, when it came to sculptures. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_figurines" rel="nofollow">Venus</a> figurines found are most definitely light years ahead of the 11,000 year old stick figure these guys are emoting over. My guess is that one may have been the work of teenage boy cave people.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
