Synopsis
Excerpt from New Backgrounds for a New Age
Since the beginnings OF history, and even BE fore that remote day, when the gray dawn of record able time revealed to us the movements of a race of civilized men in the valley of the Nile, It 18 to the artist and to his brother the artisan that we owe what we spiritually know of the succeeding manifestations of civilization upon our earth. This is increasingly true the further back we go.
The archaeologist, bringing to light sensitively carved pieces of bone or delicate and practiced drawings upon the uneven walls of dark caves, Sheds the first light on the emotional nature of prehistoric man. It is by these tokens we are enabled to know something of the world he looked out upon, as well as how he viewed it. Al though unable to say exactly when, we know a little of how he confronted that mysterious problem of life we call religion. We know what beasts roamed the earth and how he hunted them. The artist priest, working at his task of depicting animals upon the walls of black caverns, whatever may have been his purpose, did not escape that Inspiration and love of creation which comes to nearly all who set about seeking expression in line.
