TAPS. Thanks
Me too. And, like I said, they are so similar to art and expression of traditional people in other parts of the world.

Wonderful. I'm thrilled. I love tribal art too and have a few African pieces brought back from my 6 months trip in 1972. By the way, have you read my piece on suite101, the website which wants travel writers? Perhaps that's another outlet for your wonderful articles.

Ciel, I don't think the tribals are
catering to the tourists, not in this art form. It is on their caves and other places for centuries. I myself have been seeing it for at least half a century! However, some of the art has become a little modern.

What fascinates me the most is the subject matter of the images.
The medium and style is ancient, but the subject--dinosaurs!-- shows a definite influence from the modern world, and what is of interest there, and what sells to tourists from there.

Very much so
The art created by cultures close to the earth (and further away from being supposedly civilized) are so pure and beautiful. Dont you think?

Greenfields...yes this art intrigues me. I have been looking through my unpacked boxes this week for a couple of pieces of my 'mola' art. Very similar. A Panama - Kuna Tribal art form. I adore this type of art. My daughter wants my pieces for her collection ~ so I am reminded to get back out there and continue the search.
~ I'm always amazed by the gift of artistry throughout this world. ~Elyse

Yes, I like this art as well. Your comment that you have seen this type of art all over the world intrigues me. Sometimes the collective imagination of humanity is revealed in the art of the individual. Great pictures ! I am so happy to have had the time to catch up with you this morning. ~Peace, OTA
