The reaction to deep emotions felt by our early ancestors in the face of terrible fear and uncertainty. Although living in the same world and in many cases under the same conditions as animals, they differed in that they retained memories and could anticipate events &#8211; often very scary ones. These early depictions could well have been made to empower the cave dwellers and show them that they were capable of taking charge of themselves in this wild environment, its known and unknown terrors and its undiscovered joys.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&nbsp;&raquo;1\/2&Prime;][vc_single_image image=&nbsp;&raquo;3583&Prime; border_color=&nbsp;&raquo;grey&nbsp;&raquo; img_link_target=&nbsp;&raquo;_blank&nbsp;&raquo; alignment=&nbsp;&raquo;none&nbsp;&raquo; img_link_large=&nbsp;&raquo;yes&nbsp;&raquo;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: helvetica;\"><em>Embalming of Pharoah<\/em>,\u00a0 Mural\u00a0 ca. 2000 &#8211; 3000 BCE<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&nbsp;&raquo;1\/2&Prime;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: helvetica;\">The Egyptians, along with many other early societies, started to become very sophisticated in controlling this environment with a very <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ancient.eu\/Egyptian_Culture\/\" target=\"_blank\">powerful culture<\/a>.

Their pictures and symbols were often the interaction of\u00a0 animals and people as were the cave drawings but they took on a much more elaborate significance, representing gods and goddesses which in turn represented aspects of human experience and emotion.

But more importantly, for the imagination, the possibilities open to the human mind exploded. Through the incredible technological advances in art in which artists had much more control over how to depict what they wanted to depict, they\u00a0 began to show the world possibilities never before dreamed of, and a technical skill never before achieved. <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&nbsp;&raquo;1\/2&Prime;][vc_single_image image=&nbsp;&raquo;3596&Prime; border_color=&nbsp;&raquo;grey&nbsp;&raquo; img_link_target=&nbsp;&raquo;_blank&nbsp;&raquo; alignment=&nbsp;&raquo;none&nbsp;&raquo; img_link_large=&nbsp;&raquo;yes&nbsp;&raquo;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">Eugene <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eugenedelacroix.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delacroix<\/a>, <em>Liberty Leading the People, <\/em>1831<em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&nbsp;&raquo;1\/2&Prime;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Romanticism\" target=\"_blank\">Romanticism<\/a> grew out of the failure of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enlightenment\" target=\"_blank\">Enlightenment<\/a> to eradicate human misery.

As the free-wheeling, in comparison, Romantic Age unfolded, the worth of every human being was proclaimed and this reverberates to our present day. Revolutions abounded and although terrible in their scope, earned the Western World much of the freedom enjoyed in our present times.

She paints landscapes, often from her imagination, I have read, and shows us a beautiful, natural world that is still available to us &#8211; within and without &#8211; despite the fears and stresses a contemporary era lays upon us. Different fears and stresses than our cave ancestors experienced but as deeply felt &#8211; and as deeply soothed by beauty and the imagination. She shows us that the unknown is still there to be explored and there are joys yet to be imagined and discovered&#8230;<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&nbsp;&raquo;1\/1&Prime;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">All of these artists were not just daydreamers.

They worked very hard and diligently to best express their daydreams, imaginative flights of fancy, and hopes for the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">They fulfilled the splendid capacity of the human being to be able to focus on the life within and the life without, and imagine a world into existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;\">This brief outline is a mere (personal) glimpse of what art and the human imagination has done for us &#8211; and what we have done and can do with it. We cannot let the world get swallowed up in a sea of corporatism &#8211; either through the cutthroat antics of consumer art or cuts to arts funding especially in the schools.
