TI  - Structural anthropology and the messages that art sends us from the depths of time 
AU  - Ernesto Di Mauro 
AB  - Art is a means of communication and expression of important messages that need and want to be shared. This underlying relationship can be used to understand certain deep rules of the structural anthropology of the individual and of the structures of society, and to indicate changes. We have before our eyes the objects that are really important on this subject: those left to us by our ancestors, clear messages that we must learn to read in their true perspective. We are dealing with the representations of the female body that, in the words by Marija Gimbutas, “embodied the divine feminine principle that has survived several thousand years, which are immediately evident in the artifacts that have come down to us from the Upper Paleolithic”. Those figures always present a unitary vision of an ontological problematic core and of the coherent answer provided by different cultures in different times. In modern art the unity is lost and the representation of the female essence has become fragmentary and partial. What does this loss mean?
