It is perhaps a bit superfluous to mention who The Beatles are. Even if you haven’t heard any of their songs (although that’s highly unlikely), you still have undoubtedly heard of them, and it is almost like you aren’t a true musician if you don’t mention “The Fab Four” as influences.
We may not judge books by their covers, but we certainly choose them by their covers. Covers are an integral part of what makes books appealing. They sum up the book in one image, and it is that image that recommends the book, maybe not as much as the selected critic’s quotes on the back, but it is still definitely the cover that makes you pick up the book.
Calligraphy is just as much a part of human evolution as the development of language. The two are virtually inseparable, as the earliest surviving written texts are all done in calligraphy. The word calligraphy comes from the Ancient Greek words kallos and graphẽ, the two meaning beauty and writing, respectively. That does not, however, mean that calligraphy is strictly a Western tradition.
Culture is based on the old and the new. Mankind’s progress is, essentially, taking what already is there, then adding on top of it. Sometimes, at least. We are, perhaps, the only species on our planet capable creating art, and we have been doing so for tens of thousands of years. Given that we have been at it for such a long time, you could say we have gotten pretty good at it.
