An
image of a herd of bison running
from
horsemen twenty thousand years ago
is
painted on the cave walls at Lascaux --
it
clearly shows a hunt, and ancient cunning.
Now artists paint us much more abstract scenes;
a
spattering of brilliant cadmium hues
was
sold for millions, making headline news;
while
making millions wonder what it means.
Yet
if out of this wonderment we find
new
meanings using our creative urges,
(though
what we come up with sometimes diverges
from what the working artist had in mind)
then
we who live in anonymity,
while observing art, share creativity.
