There is a timeless quality from much rock art that comes from the aesthetic sensibilities that created it. Many of the designs have a sophisticated sense of style and sublety. Even with their archaic means and simplicity, they often have a look that is modern yet primitive... and it seems to emit an echo that resounds in our subconscious.
The ice age of Lascaux Font-du Gaume and Altamira comprises some of the oldest and most beautiful sketched imagery in human history. European authorities at first refused to believe that "primitive hands" could have rendered such artistry. What impresses me most is the reverence of the animals that comes through these renderings. These Rock Art sculptures are a tribute to those hands in three-dimensions. Edition of 50
