         <description><![CDATA[For the purposes of Art History, when we refer to &quot;Paleolithic&quot; art, we're talking about the Late Upper Paleolithic period. This began roughly around 40,000 years ago and lasted through the Pleistocene ice age, the end of which is commonly thought to have occurred near 8,000 B.C. (give or take a few centuries). This period was marked by the rise of Homo Sapiens and their abilities to create tools and weapons.&#10;]]></description>

magnificent examples of sculpture, reliefs, exceptionally crafted jewelry,  
ceremonial objects and those of everyday use, Hatshepsut: From Queen to  
Pharaoh poignantly describes the artistic innovations of Egypt's Early  
Eighteenth Dynasty. Despite the damnatio memoriae that her unconventional  
pharaonic images suffered after her death, their resurrection and reassembly  
by diligent scholars have allowed us to recognize and fully admire the  
diverse and splendid achievements that marked Hatshepsut's reign.]]></description>

Not only did he manage to become universally famous in his own lifetime, he was the first artist to successfully use mass media to further his name (and business empire). He also inspired or, in the notable case of Cubism, invented, nearly every art movement in the twentieth century.&#10;&#10;]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[In October of 1964, in an article describing this new style of art, Time Magazine coined the phrase &quot;Optical Art&quot; (or &quot;Op Art&quot;, as it's more commonly known). The term referenced the fact that Op Art is comprised of illusion, and often appears - to the human eye - to be moving or breathing due to its precise, mathematically-based composition.]]></description>
