Creation. The History of Art from the Very Beginning

Creation. The History of Art from the Very Beginning

The book by John-Paul Stonard is a panoramic history of the arts and a comparative anthropological study of what creativity means in different cultures. The author traces the diversity of changes in artistic forms over the centuries. "Creation" tells about... key works of art: from cave paintings of the Paleolithic era to contemporary conceptual art. This is a history of connections. Stonard shows that great Western artists and their colleagues in other parts of the world were driven by the same forces. But above all, this is a book about the fact that engaging in creativity is "part of what it means to be human."
