How I Explained to Anna Zuccaro Adam and Eve

The Adam of Art is Dance. It was out first ecstatic jumps of joy over the victory in the hunt or in our moment of pleasure that we replicated over and over. To remind us of the glory of our victory and spur us to future victory.

The Eve is Music. It is the natural dance of our hands. The Rhythm of our hands against the trees amongst us. The Chants of our voice. Repeated over and over. They represented our pouring of joy.

Both of these acts were intrinsically physical. And represent the temporal fleeting instinctual arts that exist in as abstracts in their present and past. These are founding blocks of culture. They brought us together. They hold us in union. They united our tribes our villages. and Continue to promote community on a local scale.

Adam and Eve Begat two children

Cain- Poetry- Storytelling. No longer would our triumphs be fleeting. They could be remembered in the words and tongues we created as a community. We could now share our past in an oral history. But History- The past. Begat the bane and triumph of humanity Understanding. This understanding needed explanations. To contemplate the ocean and its infinite waves and ripple. To contemplate the rise and fall of the Sun daily. Poetry Must have begotten the Gods. To explain what it was we were. It is the first reflexive art that allowed us to see again and again what we had expressed.

Able- The second child of Adam and Eve followed soon after the Plastic arts. Painting and Sculpture augmented the ritual of God. He suddenly could not just be explained but visualized. We could see and perceive God amongst the items we found. Carved sticks painted rocks they were items of ritual and stories that dictated the complexities of the Poets words. Not only could we hear but now see the gods. We can see our world. Finally the Plastic arts were the first arts to offer permanence to our existence. They were the first memorials of our life.

Able and Cain depended on the communities founded by Adam and Eve. The world existed for many a generation with these Four. They are the building blocks of our communities.

Afterwards

We have Written Language which is the fusion of Plastic Art and Poetry. Suddenly symbols came to be consistent. To perpetually describe the same thing.

This Written Language allowed for and was placed Upon Architecture. Architecture a product of the plastic arts and science made possible by written words and signs for numbers.

Oddly Music and Poetry found another place to combined to form Theatre. The Greeks Birthed such a thing to describe the crossover of the two

These three became the founders of Civilizations. Distinct from communities in that they spread and chose to remember themselves. They bound people in greater parts than believe. More important they allowed us to have a history.

Finally the Birth of Modernity.

Photography- They recording of the physical world in a demi-scientific method. As an art that depends on seeing the world as it appears.

Recorded Music- as distinct from original music. Recorded music built to function as a self-acting work of art. exists like a photograph of original music. Not a mere reproduction. but a self conscious manipulation of sound in a studio.

These two and Theatre Birthed in finality

Film- The garbage pizza of art. It acts like a painting or photograph demanding visual focus. It moves with story like poetry and threatre. It blends recorded music in. And it shows the dance of life.

These are all art. They are spawn of desire to dance. to jump glorious. To celebrate life.
