Prehistoric Art in Europe
Author: Nancy K. Sandars
Publisher: Puffin Books
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 524
Book Description
"Until around 10,000 B.C. art in Europe appears to have been in advance of the rest of the world, and throws a valuable if intermittent, light on the total history of early man. The great masterpieces of cave-painting at Lascaux are well known, and one tradition of early sculpture is from the first surprisingly classical. With the shelter paintings of the Spanish Levant and the clay modelling and painted pottery of eastern Europe in the fourth and third millennia B.C. fresh artistic problems were tackled. Later still evolved the high technical accomplishment of the metal-workers, and this masterly study concludes with an account of the original and exciting new departures of Celtic La Tene art of the last four centuries B.C."--BOOK COVER.

What Is Paleolithic Art?
Author: Jean Clottes
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022618806X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
The noted archaeologist explores the varieties of prehistoric cave art across the world and offers surprising insights into its purpose and meaning. What drew our Stone Age ancestors into caves to paint in charcoal and red hematite, to watch the likenesses of lions, bison, horses, and aurochs as they flickered by firelight? Was it a creative impulse, a spiritual dawn, a shamanistic conception of the world? In this book, Jean Clottes, one of the most renowned figures in the study of cave paintings, pursues an answer to the “why” of Paleolithic art. Discussing sites and surveys across the world, Clottes offers personal reflections on how we have viewed these paintings in the past, what we learn from looking at them across geographies, and what these paintings may have meant—and what function they may have served—for their artists. Steeped in Clottes’s shamanistic theories of cave painting, What Is Paleolithic Art? travels from well-known Ice Age sites like Chauvet, Altamira, and Lascaux to visits with contemporary aboriginal artists, evoking a continuum between the cave paintings of our prehistoric past and the living rock art of today. Clottes’s work lifts us from the darkness of our Paleolithic origins to reveal surprising insights into how we think, why we create, why we believe, and who we are
