Hardback. Condition: Good. Where do we find the world's very first art? When, and why, did people begin experimenting with different materials, forms and colours? Were our once-cousins, the Neanderthals, also capable of creating art? Prehistorians have been asking these questions of our ancestors for decades, but only very recently, with the development of cutting-edge scientific and archaeological techniques, have we been able to piece together the first chapter in the story of art. Overturning the traditional Eurocentric vision of our artistic origins, which has focused almost exclusively on the Franco-Spanish cave art, Paul Bahn and Michel Lorblanchet take the reader on a search for the earliest art across the whole world. They show that our earliest ancestors were far from being the creatively impoverished primitives of past accounts, and Europe was by no means the only 'cradle' of art; the artistic impulse developed in the human mind wherever it travelled. The long universal history of art mirrors the development of humanity.…

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. Michel Lorblanchet a révolutionné l'étude de l'art pariétal. Ce livre est l'uvre de sa vie : quarante ans d'études des grottes ornées du Quercy, avec des relevés pour beaucoup inédits, des analyses, des photographies. Un travail unique mis en valeur par une maquette spectaculaire, avec des documents splendides. Un legs pour les recherches à venir. Directeur de recherches honoraire au CNRS, Michel Lorblanchet est un spécialiste de l'art préhistorique. Il a étudié sur le terrain les grottes ornées du sud de la France, mais aussi l'art rupestre en Australie et en Inde. Il a pratiqué une approche expérimentale de l'art pariétal afin de comprendre les techniques des hommes de la préhistoire, mais aussi pour comprendre dans quel esprit et quels contextes (choix de la cavité, du support, temps d'exécution, conditions de travail) s'effectuait cette production artistique.
