CHICAGO - Californer -- Groundbreaking Art Book Explores the Impact of Tribal and Ancient Art on Human Behavior Over 30,000 Years
[CHICAGO, IL, November 12, 2024] -- The Commonality of Humans Through Art assembles ten leading scholars in a masterpiece collection of chapters on art history and cultural anthropology and how the language of art has shaped human behavior from birth to death.
With contributions from distinguished experts, the book combines insights from fields in neuroscience, anthropology, and art. According to John Buxton, founder of ArtTrak.com and long-time appraiser on the television series, Antiques Roadshow, The Commonality of Humans Through Art is the most important book about art since H.W. Janson's History of Art.
Featuring 400 vibrant color photos of tribal and ancient art objects from globally renowned museums and private collections in one book, it offers readers a centralized exhibition that examines the interconnectivity of humanity and art across diverse cultures. This 576-page book explores themes of family, motherhood, conflict, warfare, sickness, healing, religion, and the brain and how art has influenced human life over the past 30,000 years.
