*While physics has reached
the level where men are able to study subatomic particles and interplanetary
space, a phenomenon such as art has remained a dark mystery, with little or
nothing known about its nature, its function in human life or the cause of its
tremendous psychological power. Yet art is of passionately intense importance
and profoundly personal concern to most men---and it has existed in every
known civilization, accompanying man's steps from the early hours of his
prehistorical dawn, earlier than the birth of written language.
