Almost all of the drawings Of prim.
tive men showed both animals and
human beings in profile. When the
hgure Of a man or woman was drawn
In front view the head was turned to
show profile. Drawing a profile, as
every artist has discovered, is much
simpler matter than drawing the full
lace. In the case Of figures modelled
In the round" the sculptor was
forced to show both eyes and to I'm.
dertake something much nearer to
realism as we understand It. Crude
as these might be, they inevitably
showed the characteristics Of the
races represented by the sculptors.
