First Symbols,
by Thomas Neubert, 2016
acrylic on canvas,
50 in x 40 in
The underpainting of First Symbols is random splotches of paint, a modern day cave wall if you will. Upon that surface I have painted the dots, lines and symbols that Genevieve von Petzingers and others have determined are the precursor to writing. I have arrange some of these symbols into fertility goddess; since hunter gather societies of 30,000 years ago also made symbols of fertility goddesses.
