The History of Visual Art

i want to explain this first by talking about a history of painting o visual art. It's quite complex for our brains to be able to take something that's in three d space. A similar story is in the 18 hundreds when france was colonizing the middle east. The french were trading with these tribes, and one day the french decided to give a gift to this islamic tribe out in the desert. And the gift was an incredibly realistic painting of a horse. Now, these people are islamic. Within very strict islam, visual culture is within strict islam,. it's forbidden, as you know, to visually portray the image of the prophet mohomed.
