Description

Why should I read myths? What makes art an art? Myths and art should be understood in humanities, perhaps with myths and arts, to know something about us. In South Korea, the focus has been on humanities, including business and technology. The side opposite this trend would also have been the influence of Steve Jobs at the very beginning of modern IT industrial technology. One of the comments from Jobs, who has grown Apple to be a global leader, was to announce the iPhone. "To make Apple is to combine technology and humanities.". His idea that no good technology can be found without knowing humans is easily seen in every single item of Apple. So what is humanities that have fascinated the leaders of IT companies like Jobs? Nietzsche defines humanities as “the study of understanding and meaning the life of man, which eventually brings maturity and plenty to one’s life.". In the end, humanities are a guide to deepen human beings through our quest and understanding of life and the world around us. On the front door of the United States Facebook headquarters, there is this passage that includes Rene Magritte's painting:. “Are we a technology company? (laughs). The future of Facebook is explained by this and the picture of Rene Magritte. The future of Facebook is creative thinking. Rene Magritte is a representative hyper-realist author who has drawn his imagination-based work.

Greek Roman mythology is thought to be the most inspiring music, poetry, painting and sculpture for artists. Since Thomas Bulpinch published the Greek Roman myth in 1855, stories about Greek mythology have been pouring into the books. The book has added another title to the many Greek mythology books of mythology: painters. [World painters are in a myth!]. "I am not a writer, but I am a man of art.". So there are many myths in this book. Sometimes it feels like unrealistic and sometimes too

Myth and painting are a conglomerate. Myths and literature are the same. So it's not fun not knowing mythology. I don't know how much I like the painting, but I don’t think it's worth going through without knowing the meaning of the painting in the famous art museum. If you have not found the literature you want to read to be fun and moving, you should wonder if it is a metaphor and symbol. Even movies like the Avengers that many people love can be more interesting if they know about mythology!
