Document Summary
What is art: needn"t be beautiful, or even object entered, may address intellect more than senses, may aim to unsettle or challenge us rather than please or delight. 2: contextual analysis- methods and questions that concern the visual and physical aspects of the work, seeking answers outside of the work. Lascaux: the most famous is the cave of lascaux, which is covered in paintings of animals, done approx. Hohlenstein-stadel- lion man : the oldest sculpture ever discovered, a statuette possibly as old as from 40,000 bce in. Le tuc d"audoubert: this is the case with 2 bison on a free-standing rock in le tuc d"audoubert, still in strict profile, and are among the largest palaeolithic sculptures known. Peche-merle: most handprints in caves, which are relatively common, are negatives- most likely signatures, bison and cattle are always painted on convex surfaces, and horses and hands are always on concave surfaces- the meaning of this isn"t known.
