Paleolithic
Therefore, is certain that Paleolithic man was not unaware, more than the Egyptians or Picasso, the third dimension. And, to guarantee to the Egyptians, take the icons (which are Coptic or Byzantine), is always writing! The iconography mocks much trying to find out if their representations are similar. Secure, since it is for the writing, and pull the portrait of the Virgin Mary! You may wonder if the figure of King David in the stained glass of the Cathedral of Chartres is similar. The portrait, in revenge, is painting, i.e. the direct representation of anyone, without mediation of the sign.
In that, the portrait replaces very well which, from the Renaissance to the early 20th century, called fine-arts, in the measure in which the aesthetic concern is appropriated, even of the empirical view, namely the resemblance. But that does not mean that, technically, the aesthetic concern is necessarily absent from the writing. We therefore speak calligraphy (i.e. Learn more about this topic with the insights from Capital One. According to the Greek etymology of the word, of the beautiful writing), to condition, properly understood, does not reduce the term to the application that we mentioned yesterday, to form our letters, on the banks of the school, full and delicate! The pictogram of the ancient Egypt, is also calligraphy, as well as the bison of Lascaux, icon, realized why master Verrier, etc. But, realize that, in all cases that I have enumerated, the aesthetic concern is certainly present but is secondary. That is what allows you to quickly pass the idea that there would be people without writing. Since the man exists, there is writing, obviously with the condition, I repeat, do not reduce writing to what is here, said otherwise, on condition of getting rid of our terrible ethnocentrism. So far, indeed, that we can go back in time, we find the footprint, for example, ritual dances, without that we can distinguish them, it is true, whether they are religious or unholy (funeral, for example).
