Abstract
Nature has been a primary subject for art since the dawn of man. Some of the earliest examples of artwork are the cave paintings found at Altmira , Spain and Lascaux, France. These paintings depict bison, bulls, deer , horses, and people in various postures and in varying detail. The paintings were likely part of a ritual magic performed to assure good hunting for the primitive cave men of about 15,000 to 10,000 B.C.
