    Leonardo da Vinci produced the most precisely drawn dissections of the human body in 1510.

    Shakespeare was the first writer I'm aware of who portrayed a sense of dimension onto the characters. In forms of writing, it was like jumping from this Dark Ages attempt at perspective, vs The Renaissance's breakthrough with perspective:

    Yes but there's always REAL PEOPLE. Even Shakespeare's dimensional people aren't the real thing.

    Architecture is cool, though.

    The visual arts are music for the eyes. Most art occurs in the looking. It's spiritual.

    I don't mean to be critical of your question, RTF - it's a good one - but I don't particularly think that importance comes into it. Though this is just my view.

    what art does that is important, is to remind people there is a universe out there not limited by what corporate media wants to let them be aware of.
    not only that there is a universe out there, but that they can think and live and make things and do things, that it (media) doesn't want to remind them is even possible for them to imagine,
    very may of which, even a few people together can do and even some one person alone can.

    this is why i make my own pictures of villages of different kinds of houses and transportation also.

    and one of those things even one person along can do, is also make pictures or music or whatever, of their own ideas that haven't come to them predigested.

    Art is important to me, and I really don't care if it is to anyone else or not.

    Let me guess you’re a fan of Thomas Gainsborough who was a lover of dogs and often included them in his paintings :)

    Sorry I assumed because you’re a lover of animals you’d be familiar with Gainsborough

                 [pic] Nude from before 1980

    The following picture was hand copied from an old
    printout from a Univac 1100 computer in 1980.
    
    Old mainframe printers made each page with 132 columns and 66 lines per page.
    
    And the pages were attached to each other,
    bottom of one page to the top of the next,
    so that the output was one long page.
    
    The unix "banner" program was written to take advantage
    of the long continuous printouts from those old printers.

    Art is one of a few outlets where you can get away with telling the truth about what you can't speak aloud in your social clique. I'm conservative, but in my art there are many elements of the liberal utopia I make fun of irl. Sometimes when creating art that embraces the ignorance of political affiliation, just to be ironic, can actually help the artist understand that point of view a little clearer. And for that alone, I think art is behind all great changes in society, for good or bad.

    Like everything else, it is only important to those who think it is.

    and that is my final statement on the subject.

    artist is a small kind of god.. in kabbalah, there is a hierarchy of gods. from the great gods to the the little ones..

    you can create, that cosmos hasnt thought or created yet. you can create a blue elephant and cosmos hasnt think about it yet.. but you think..and you give an idea to the universe... by using the great network..

    someone once said, if you have to ask why art is important you are already lost all hope of salvation!

    i believe art is everywhere, art is the cure for psychosis, i do have schyzophrenia and when i started doing arts , i saw arts everywhere and it saved my life, cause instead of focusing on bad detail i was looking for art everywhere. if you loook at tree u can see art ,if you look at floor you will see some heads , but art is just looking at things in detail

    there are two things really. being creative is what makes us 'human'. by which i mean sapient of course. the only observable thing that seperates sapience from sentience.
    the other, i've already mentioned, is communiication. art communicates.
    (there's a third thing, for some its an income, but i really think that is way down there in third place as for its function)

    Sometimes when I'm having a slightly bad trip, I use a finger to draw buildings in the dirt and it calms my nerves.
