Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]in its emphasis on prehistoric objects as fine art and their makers as artists, Ice Age Art misses opportunities to explain their historical context and scientific importance. [...]the period after the most recent glacial maximum around 20,000 years ago is called a 'Renaissance' because humans began exploring new forms of figurative expression, which include stone animal engravings that play with shading and perspective, and the cave paintings of Lascaux in France.
