Book excerpt: On 12 September 1940, four teenagers accidentally stumbled across a hole in the hillside overlooking the village of Montignac, France.This opening the entrance to the Lascaux Cave and its network of chambers brought to light stunning 17,000- year-old paintings that vividly depicted a whole host of animals and figures.The discovery was to become one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. By the 1950s, however, the sheer number of visitors to the cave was causing the paintings to deteriorate, forcing the Ministry of Cultural Affairs finally to close it to the public in 1963. A key figure at Frances National Centre for Prehistory, Norbert Aujoulat has been fascinated by the Lascaux Cave ever since his first visit back in 1970 and has spent several years researching its ancient art. In successive chapters, he takes us on a thorough exploration of the historic site, detailing the geological and archaeological background of the area and guiding us through the individual chambers and paintings from their very beginnings right up to the present day. By capturing the beauty and essence of these world-renowned masterpieces, this richly illustrated and extensive study enables each and every one of us to experience the magical atmosphere of Lascaux for ourselves.
Download or read book The Cave Painters written by Gregory Curtis and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cave Painters is a vivid introduction to the spectacular cave paintings of France and Spain—the individuals who rediscovered them, theories about their origins, their splendor and mystery. Gregory Curtis makes us see the astonishing sophistication and power of the paintings and tells us what is known about their creators, the Cro-Magnon people of some 40,000 years ago. He takes us through various theories—that the art was part of fertility or hunting rituals, or used for religious purposes, or was clan mythology—examining the ways interpretations have changed over time. Rich in detail, personalities, and history, The Cave Painters is above all permeated with awe for those distant humans who developed—perhaps for the first time—both the ability for abstract thought and a profound and beautiful way to express it.

Download or read book What Is Paleolithic Art written by Jean Clottes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
Download or read book Prehistoric Art written by Jean-Pierre Mohen and published by Vilo International. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art history recognizes the fact that the discovery of the first Western European prehistoric ornate caves of Altamira (Spain), one hundred years ago, the Lascaux caves in 1940 (France) and the Chauvet one in 1994 (France), gave birth to a period of wonder and questionning about the function of these images, some of which are more than 30 000 years old. Recent research across the 5 continents shows that these figurative and symbolic expressions reminiscent of ritualistic practices, play an important part in the life of certain human groups, because they partake in the mythical birth of these groups apparently fascinated by animals which they fight until death comes, and fascinated by the life created by women. Prehistoric Art showcases more than 150 absolutely stunning photographs of rocks and caves covered with prehistoric paintings, along with a very informative text. -- from back cover.
