What is artwork? Why do we value images of saints, kings, goddesses, battles, landscapes or places from eras of history utterly distant from ourselves? This history of artwork shows how painters, sculptors and architects have portrayed the perception systems of how old they are: religious, political and aesthetic. From the old civilisations of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece, to the revolutionary years of the 19th and 20th decades, the artist has acted as a reflection to the ideals and conflicts of the real human head. He has always started with certainty, but has chosen and reshaped that certainty to make a parallel world; a world of the imagination.
