=====The Cambridge illustrated history of prehistoric art=====

=====Prehistoric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa=====

[https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2947 by MoMA]

“That an institution devoted to the most recent in art should concern itself with the most ancient may seem something of a paradox,” MoMA’s founding director Alfred H. Barr, Jr., wrote in his preface to the catalogue for Prehistoric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa. Yet, for Barr, this past had already influenced modern art, and could potentially offer museum visitors a prehistoric pedigree for it.

=====Introduction to Prehistoric Art=====

[https://viva.pressbooks.pub/arthistory/chapter/introduction-to-prehistoric-art/ by VIVA]

People have been making art for at least 100,000 years. Prehistoric art illustrates early human creativity through small portable objects, cave paintings, and early sculpture and architecture.

The term Prehistory refers to all of human history that precedes the invention of writing systems c. 3100 BCE and the keeping of written records, and it is an immensely long period of time, some ten million years according to current theories. For the purposes of an art history survey, we split our study of Prehistory into parts of the Stone Age: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic.

=====The Art of Prehistoric Textile Making=====

[https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/32825 by Open Access]

Textiles, textile production and clothing were essentials of living in prehistory, locked into the system of society at every level – social, economic and even religious. Textile crafts not only produced essential goods for everyday use, most notably clothing, but also utilitarian objects as well as representative and luxury items. Prehistoric clothing and their role in identity creation for the individual and for the group are also addressed by means of archaeological finds from Stone the Iron Age in Central Europe.

=====Moon Calendars in Prehistoric Art – ‘Meaning’ in Art?=====

[https://www.artists-atelier.com/moon-calendars-in-prehistoric-art-meaning-in-art/ by Cope]

I took a photo of this prehistoric artifact at the Museum of Pech-Merle this spring, when they had an exhibition about the stars & prehistory. Regrettably I didn’t get the provenance (I think it might be a find from the Castel Merle grotte). It’s a ‘mobile’ portable artifact, which some interpret as a moon calendar . The moon has a 29 day cycle so observe that there could be 14 notches on the first row depending on what one counts, & that maybe the deviation in row two into a circle rather than a row, was meant to be indicative of the disappearing or empty moon?

=====Prehistoric art=====

[https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/prehistoric-art-5538938/5538938 by Melissa Hanes]

The earliest known artists were Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE who lived in caves and hunted animals.

=====Focus on Cave Painting, Lascaux=====

[https://libguides.com.edu/ArtPrehistoric by COM Library]

Art that predates written records. The history of the fine arts – painting, engraving, and sculpture – begins around 40000 BC in the Palaeolithic period (Old Stone Age). The oldest known rock engravings are in Australia, but within the next 30,000 years artoccurs on every continent.
