Today I’d like to show you another piece of original artwork from Celina M Castaneda of CMC Fine Art & Illustration. It’s a depiction of E.H. Carr (1892-1982) A British historian, diplomat, journalist.

From the game: “An international relations expert, Carr believed that historical information fell into two categories: ‘facts of the past’ that historians deem unimportant, and ‘historical facts’ that they consider important. Historians then arbitrarily determine which ‘facts of the past’ to turn into ‘historical facts,’ based on their own biases and agendas. This is so self-evidently true that academics have dedicated decades of effort to disproving it.”

Carr is considered to be the father of Classical Realism.

From the game: “History is a product of the present. All knowledge of the past is experienced through our perceptions of reading it and, as the histories we read are mostly translated, tell us as much about the translator as the historian. Thus historians are always manufacturing the past in service to the present by selecting facts which suit their biases and agendas with witch to construct it. “
