That is, perhaps the artist crafting a bull or whatever had to guess what it meant to be a bull (power? horns? fertility? laziness?) while s/he to a greater extent knew what it meant to be a person in that (presumably) rather fixed traditionalist society.Olav Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14151758541523612837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-25165459952672168022014-09-08T05:18:03.154-07:002014-09-08T05:18:03.154-07:00Although I enjoy virtually all of your posts, the ...Although I enjoy virtually all of your posts, the ones including the (long) random tables and the ones with the art collections are among my favourite. I was therefore tremendously excited last Friday when you announced your art course and got even more enthousiastic now that you have posted the first of the series.<br /><br />A very nice selection of ancient art with some refreshing insights. The pictures are as always very inspirational.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next episode.pileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008654668836414680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-88010347032462273012014-09-08T01:02:30.770-07:002014-09-08T01:02:30.770-07:00Interesting how the Jomon, some of the Mayan art, ...Interesting how the Jomon, some of the Mayan art, etc. feed back into our modern mythology with earnestly worked out theories concluding they have to be depictions of ancient astronauts.Roger G-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594440701279968693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-21651529096124117392014-09-07T21:31:17.774-07:002014-09-07T21:31:17.774-07:00This might be the only no-bullshit survey of art I...This might be the only no-bullshit survey of art I've read & looked at.
