The ideas of sorcery and voodoo were very present at the time and so it resembles in the art of the caves and Aztecs and Afrikaners.Įven if we don’t really notice or think about it, we are influenced by the Egyptians because the Greeks were influenced by them and we are said to be influenced by the latter. Like the ideas of animals having soul and our connection to them that the primitives felt. It is instead a story of changing ideas and requirements. But this is not what matters in the story of art, it is not a story of technical proficiency, based on the tools and capacities of the minds and ways of living of these people. the people closer to our first state as human beings with their very few tools and division of labor were able to paint and sculpt. “look at a picture with fresh eyes and venture on a voyage of discovery”. They are all trying to make things “right” and perfect in their way, which is something that has no rules, it is just right. We should try to understand what they wanted to do while they worked out their paintings. We should discard our prejudices and habits an approach the artists as strangers. Socrates advice of approaching him as a stranger is also applicable for the enjoyment of the great works of art. We shouldn’t condemn a work for being incorrectly drawn. Other things that we should take into account while we try to appreciate the works of artist are: the artists most probably had his reasons to change what he saw in “reality” and to represent it in another way. When we look at the works of an artist, we are sometime prejudice by bad memories, our time and place, how we see the world, what we consider “reality”. “There is no such thing as Art, there are only artist.“
