Mankind needed to understand his world: its creation, its purpose and his relationship to it...and then be able to tell others about his interpretations. He learned how to make symbolic marks (visual arts), attribute vocal utterances to them and evolve that language of pictures to what we call art. The sophistication continues today and art now encompasses the making of pictures, their many styles, and the reverence and the collection of them.

Ten steps in art history :
1. Lascaux Caves
2. Cimabue
3. Leonardo da Vinci
4. Michaelangelo
5. Titian
6. Constable
7. Turner
8. Monet
9. van Gogh
10. Picasso
All art stopped around 30 years ago when people started sploshing paint and calling it "abstract expressionism" (Rothko); or flogging their old rancid smelling bed to an art gallery (Emin)
