I had high hopes for this book. I thought it would help me understand how prehistoric shapes/images were incorporated into contemporary art. I'm sure it does that, but it's way too hard for me to understand. Or maybe I should say....I don't have the time to read it slowly enough to figure out what it means.
I think this is mostly an art book....it philosophizes about the function of art and the shape/color/textures of art. It's more than I can digest at this time.

Yes, it is... the book that got me through college....
Future (and past) inspiration.
