EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the distant past, we witness a pivotal moment in human history: the discovery of art. Circa 12,000 B.C., in an era long before recorded time, a Stone Age man proudly displays his latest creation to an awe-struck audience. The masterpiece in question is an intricately etched representation of a horse, meticulously carved onto a curved piece of horn using a stone knife. The man's expression radiates a sense of accomplishment and wonder, as if he is sharing a secret with those gathered around him. The onlookers, with their wide-eyed gazes and open mouths, mirror the sense of amazement and admiration felt by the artist. This scene is a testament to the power of human creativity, even in the most primitive of times. The use of a horn as a canvas speaks to the resourcefulness and adaptability of early humans, who utilized the materials readily available to them to express their thoughts and ideas. The stone knife, a tool essential for survival, was transformed into an instrument of artistic expression. The horse, a powerful and majestic creature, was a common subject in the art of the Stone Age, reflecting its importance in the daily lives of these early communities. This image offers a glimpse into the world of our ancestors, a time when art was not just a form of self-expression, but a means of communication and connection. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire, captivate, and bring people together, even in the most ancient of times.
