Description
Covers the evolution of art and why it was important to human survival. Using scientific studies and principles for attraction as a guide, the author attempts to break away from conventional definitions for art. At its heart, May contends that all humans evolved with ‘art wiring’ and sets to prove it by analysing its roots and its use today.
Dan May has exhibited his art and design work nationally and internationally for thirty years, and has authored 2 papers on desire and its role in art preference. He attended Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville acting as a pseudo activist/juvenile delinquent in the 1970s and received his BA at the University of Missouri -St. Louis.
Prior to his art career, his life vacillated between unemployment and manual labor. He worked driving a truck, as a steel laborer, a hospital janitor, a dockworker, an autoworker, electrician, a day laborer, and in harder times sold meat door to door. Frequently being laid off and often seeking work, he was homeless and living on the street in NYC when he returned to school and received his Masters in Fine Arts in Graphic Design. As a designer/ illustrator his clients were SONY, Miramax, Disney, and General Foods. His work has appeared on merchandise, promotions, and illustrations for movies, and the rock concert tours of Eric Clapton, Queen, and REM. He has also designed layouts for 2 children’s books and 2 reference books. He is now a Professor at University of Nebraska-Kearney.
