Why Artful History?

Well, it’s really very simply. I plan on sharing with you about art and the role it plays and HAS played in history.

History is not told just through the written word, but it is expressed through our music and through various forms of art.

History is ARTFULLY told.

From some of the oldest drawings on the cave walls at Lascaux, France which some sources date at 32,000 years old to the Woman From Willendorf or Venus From Willendorf dating from between 22,000 B.C.E. and 21,000 B.C.E. man has tried to tell his story through art. Those efforts continue today through paintings, photographs, and other graphic arts.


Every era of history has a story to tell and what better medium to explore than art, and how it fits into history.

That’s my goal – and I’m sticking to it.
