Bushman rock art across the seven seas, attests to palaeolithic painters navigating the diaphanous rock surface with articulate paintbrushes, encountering and describing revelations along the way. The Oldest Masters, they are the patriarchs of eons of art history, and creators of the longest-surviving visual art in the world.
The Bushman’s approach to rock art, though veiled in mystery, is the common inheritance of domesticated peoples who fell from Eden, whose art still reflects a memory of Paradise. With paintbrush, chisel or hand, humans continue to express and commune with the divine through visual creations. And so Art History tells us a remarkable, elliptical story of people’s experience in and of the world. It is the oldest form of documented History, apparently.
With so many strata of art gems embedded in the veiled recesses of magical time, your point of entry into the art world can only ever be right now! Consider: why are the world’s major art movements, though so different from each other, all special in their own way? The answer is simple but deep: History is always new!
