Reply To: Prehistoric Abstraction

[Miranda Jackovich]

To Laura Barber
I definitely agree with your view on what abstract is and how pre-historic art/imagery differ in meanings. Abstract is usually meant to be applied to the creation. Also with no evidence to what the individual was thinking we can’t assume that was their intention. Your example of “The Venus of Willendorf” and “Venus of Dolni Vestonice” was well chosen. Great ideas!
