Designed and executed 25,000 years ago is the oldest work of art known from my found information.

While it’s age and having survived are important, what does this work of art say about the human race and the evolution of civilization?

It can give us information on the intellectual and cognition development of mankind.

It can also give us historical information as to life styles and other information of that time and space.

This example and the quantity of art since then reflect the time, place, availability, and life conditions of their time.

Art is not just aesthetics.

Authentic art manifest such.

Observing physical manifestations of housing and furnishings today how many are truly works of art and how many are reproductions? Or interpretations?

In these situations how often does emotion over rule intellect?

What do your personal choices of designs say about you and where you are intellectually and emotionally?

Food for thought.
