[CHICAGO, IL, November 12, 2024] -- The Commonality of Humans Through Art assembles ten leading scholars in a masterpiece collection of chapters on art history and cultural anthropology and how the language of art has shaped human behavior from birth to death.
With contributions from distinguished experts, the book combines insights from fields in neuroscience, anthropology, and art. According to John Buxton, founder of ArtTrak.com and long-time appraiser on the television series, Antiques Roadshow, The Commonality of Humans Through Art is the most important book about art since H.W.
