Venus of Willendorf

Venus of Willendorf, 24,000 to 22,000 BC
Art is a continuing dialogue that stretches back thousands of years.  According to Kit White, "what you make is your contribution to that dialogue...Therefore try not to repeat what has already been said...Study art history and stay alert to the dialogue of your moment."  For me, art history is the foundation that allows me to explore art in new ways.  Knowing what has already been done, prevents me from doing the same thing, and urges me on to something new.  Enjoy!
