Dawn
of Art : The Chauvet Cave: The Oldest Known Paintings in the World
by Jean-Marie Chauvet, et al
The 1990s have witnessed a sort of renaissance in cave art, thanks
to new discoveries from the south of France. Previously, the oldest examples
of human art were thought to have been painted 15,000 years ago. When these

one of them), however, they visited an underground art gallery that had
been closed for 30,000 years. It's still inaccessible today, except to
specialists. But this wonderful book of pictures and text allows virtual
tourists to appreciate the creations of our remotest ancestors. This may
be primitive art in the literal sense of the term, but it's remarkably
sophisticated. Amazon.com

bison seemed so fresh and "modern" that critics doubted their authenticity,
and suspected an elaborate hoax. Only in 1905, with the first scholarly
analysis of the works, were they finally accepted as Paleolithic art. Charts,
maps, and descriptions guide readers through the... The Publisher
