Presentation and discussion with
Robert Stewart, RS Hom CCH
The visual arts have been with humanity from the cave
figurative paintings of Lascaux in France of 17,000 BC
(and the recently discovered Chauvet Caves, 30,000 BC)
on into contemporary conceptual art of today. Each age
has produced images that correlate with specific cultural
developments: that is, each age shows through their images
especially a visual evolution of consciousness. This is a lively
slide show presentation of some of the great masters of the
past and of modernity.
