“Returning to the usefulness of drawing. We can only guess at what early man had in mind when he drew on a cave wall. Whoever made these drawings had a keen eye, a brilliant memory, imagination and a refined sense of line, everything, in fact, you need now. Perhaps what gave those earliest drawings their importance was the need to communicate and explain what they saw. This visual language is the same for us today, it is a language that goes back 30,000 years or more and may well have been the first language of man.”
