Lascaux - The Prehistory Of Art Movie


Lascaux - The Prehistory Of Art Lascaux is the most beautiful and the most lavish of all the adorned prehistoric caves. But is there really such a thing as prehistoric art? Who were the painters of Lascaux? How to explain the striking stylistic unity of certain clusters, or the contradictions between similar figures that may have been painted in different periods? Days Long Gone - This was the first film to be made about the discovery of Lascaux by children from the village of Montignac. The village school teacher appears as himself in this short film (12 mins), shot in 1942. In the Dordogne of World War II, equipped with candles and pocket torches, the children stumble upon the most fabulous cave paintings of the Old Stone Age. This exceptional and unprecedented document was made a year after the discovery of Lascaux.
