The way we see ourselves shapes our imaginings of the past. In Ancestral
Images: The Iconography of Human Origins, Stephanie Moser explores the cultural
and religious assumptions inherent in pictorial traditions. From Greek
mythology, through medieval Adam and Eve, to the 19th-century heroic view of
mighty mammoth hunters, portrayals of human origins often reveal the artist’s
world rather the subject’s. Published by Sutton, £25, ISBN 0750911786.
