Krátky popis
A fully illustrated, panoramic world history of art from ancient
civilisation to the present day, exploring the remarkable endurance
of humankind's creative impulse. Some fifty thousand years ago, on
an island in modern-day Indonesia, an early human used red ochre
pigment to capture the likeness of a native pig on a limestone cave
wall. Around the same time, across the globe in Europe, another
human retrieved a lump of charcoal from an old fire and sketched
four galloping horses.It was like a light turning on in the human
mind. Our instinct to produce images in response to nature allowed
the earliest Homo sapiens to understand the world around us, and to
thrive. Now, the art historian John-Paul Stonard has travelled
across continents to take us on a panoramic journey through the
history of art - from ancient Anatolian standing stones to a Qing
Dynasty ink handscroll, from a drawing by a Kiowa artist from the
Great Plains to a post-independence Congolese painting.Lavishly
illustrated throughout, Creation is an ambitious, thrilling and
landmark work that leads us from Benin to Belgium, China to
Constantinople, Mexico to Mesopotamia. Journeying from pre-history
to the present day, it explores the remarkable endurance of
humankind's creative impulse, and asks how - and why - we create.
