Why Human Create Picture
In everyday life, we can not escape from the fusion point, line, area and color that make up an image and meaning, which we call the ‘image’ (picture / image). Whether in a simple form of traffic lights, until a more attractive form of clothing, home decorations, accessories, or on other objects around us.
What if the image does not exist in our lives? Deep in prehistoric times, for more than 100,000 years ago, that human life. There are no pictures at all. Imageless.
Until about 35,000 years ago in the history of civilization, humans began to create images for the imaging and mean something. By archaeologists, this period is called ‘creative explosion’ (creative explosion period).
In the year 1879, an amateur archaeologist named Marcelino De Sautuola and his daughter Mary, to find a painting / drawing collection Auroch (a kind ox ox long extinct) in the Altamira cave, northern Spain. This discovery does not believe its authenticity because of the pictures in the cave was too good for prehistoric artists.
Until a few decades ahead, the findings of cave paintings happen. One of the oldest image is the most famous cave drawings in Lascaux, France, discovered in 1940. Cave wall is filled with pictures mammoth, bison, reindeer and horses. Allegedly the tools used to paint the flat bones as a palette, coarse grass or fur used as a brush and vegetation is used as a source of dye.
In the 20th century, Henri Breuil, a French priest who is also the leading experts in cave art, the theory states that just as artists of today who redrew the surrounding circumstances, prehistoric artists also draw / paint environmental life in the vicinity. In this case is hunting. According to him, prehistoric artists have confidence that, pictures of animals will help them to get a lot of game.
However, this theory fails because the bones around the cave that were believed to be hunted animals and prehistoric human diet, not the bones of the animals depicted on cave walls, which was originally thought to be the image game. In addition, the artists of this era drew on the cave that narrow and dark, of course, far from other hunters of human attention, which also wants to get a lot of game.
The birth of the first picture is not from sudden thought by humans, but of recognizing shapes and images created by the brain that is projected onto the wall. These prehistoric artists then carved out the visions that created it in their heads at the cave wall.
Picture then developed following the development of human civilization into a work of art in various categories. Painting, film with moving pictures (animation) and so forth. You’ll find lots of interesting news in the online b2b marketplace.
