Included is a recent article in ArtNews Magazine Art Talk On Our Beast Behavior, October Issue 2007


NOTES from Saul's perspective-- It is interesting how all the different artists are part of this phenomena. One can include the images of the early painter Peiter Bruegel the Elder shown above Dulle Griet (Mad Meg) c. 1562 (200 Kb); Oil on panel, 117.4 x 162 cm; Museum Mayer van den Bergh, Antwerp.
Looking at the painting we can find characteristics in several personalities around the painting that can realate to the response of Cesare Lombroso about people and animals likeness.
Several of the images included in this painting can be described as the continuous reflection on how people saw the world with the expectations and asimilations of animals. Nowdays humanity still have the tendencies to relate other people as animal likeness for their looks, this can be vizualize as mockery and prefferences of perspectives towards other people.
