Conservative Order and Social Upheavel in Europe

 

 

Time Line of Art History:

In his famous book, "Organism," Abraham Maslow originated the idea of self-actualization within a hierarchial structure of physilogical and psychological needs. Within this structure are what Maslow calls "esteem needs." From the very beginning of time historians have made manifest evidence of man's expression of "esteem needs." Over 30,000 years ago in Chauvet France the discovery of dynamic, vibrant paintings of animals drawn on limestone cave walls stand as a testament to man's need to express his world through art.

 

Beauty is truth, truth beauty,

That is all ye know on earth and

All ye need to know.

-------- John Keats (1819) "Ode on a Grecian Urn"

 

Take the time to see the truth, to see the beauty that man has created across time and space. "Click away!"
