Neo-rupestre

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 29 January 2008 in Miscellaneous.

The history of art began in caves approximately 40,000 Years ago, during the Upper Paleolithic period. The purpose of the cave paintings (Pinturas Rupestres in spanish) is unknown. Some theories hold that they may have been a way of transmitting information, while other theories ascribe them a religious or ceremonial purpose.
As mankind evolved, so its way of understanding the world, its ideas, the ways of expressing them, and the reinterpretation possible after conveying them.
Through history, we have been blessed by numerous expressions of art, from the minimalist to the more elaborated and ornamental, from inspiring works to controversial and disturbing. One thing that brings them together is the communication of an idea, a feeling, a wish for others to understand what we want to say, or in some cases the expression of rules and directions.
