The Evolution of Painting

Creative art has always been one of the tools for man to express himself and this has been a trend from ancient times as we have seen in cave paintings like the ones in Altamira in Spain and in many other places. Painting gradually evolved from being just a way to express oneself to being a tool to show the frustrations and depressions of life as was done by Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. The evolution of art as we see it now focuses on abstract paintings, figures that evoke emotion that vary from horrifying to tempting and younger artists are concentrating more and more on these abstract forms of art.
