Global Art by Regions Art has been defined in countless ways by those who profess to understand it well.
Art in an elemental form is believed to have originated in the Middle East in very Ancient times.
10,000 year old Art has been found on the walls of caves at Lascaux, France and in the stone works of the Ancient Egyptians.
It has been said that tiny drilled shells were found in a cave in South Africa 75,000 years ago. A primary form of simple Art was found in the grave goods of the Neanderthals.
Not all in Society can possess Art, some of it is extraordinarily expensive and out of reach to all but the privileged. Consider that Van Gogh died penniless, without ever having sold a painting and yet his work now brings millions to the fortunate few who can afford it.
Whomever is ultimately given credit for being first, the fact is we are all richer for having Art in our lives.
Global Art may include the following and many other forms: Architecture, Dance, Music, Literature, Painting, Sculpture, Media, Film, Photography, Theatre and Television.
