The Childhood of Art or The Ascent of Man is a book that explores the evolution of human creativity and artistic expression from prehistoric times to the present day. Written by Herbert Green Spearing, the book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the early stages of human artistic development.In this volume, Spearing provides a detailed analysis of the relics of prehistoric art, including cave paintings, sculptures, and other artifacts. He examines the social and cultural context in which these works were created, and argues that they represent a fundamental shift in human consciousness and creativity.The book offers a comprehensive overview of the major artistic movements and styles that emerged during this period, including the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age. Spearing also discusses the role of art in shaping human society and culture, and how it has been used to convey religious, political, and social messages throughout history.Overall, The Childhood of Art or The Ascent of Man is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the origins of human creativity and artistic expression. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of art, anthropology, or human evolution.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
