Art of Cave Dweller

Many book have appeared on the artistic aspect of the primitive culture of the ancient or palaeolithic period and all of them have emphasized the overmastering interest it had in those times. But the problems the theme of the art, presents seems to increase in complexity the more the subject is examined. The main problem that presents itself is of the real intention, motive, desire of the animals representations in the paintings on the caves and the artistic imagination of the artist in those times. It is the chief purpose of this book to arrive at some clear idea of the relation between the artistic and non-artistic or magical elements in those drawings, for all these elements exist in the paintings and it is difficult to ignore any of them. The author has written details in elaborate manner by dividing the book into various chapters, such prehistoric activities, its Zoology, its anthropology, earliest use of pigment, Accident at Resemblances, Criteria of chronology, Phyllomorphic designs, The Freedom of Art, quality of the designs, origins of the pattern etc. etc., and goes on to lay out in details about the different and prominent caves from the artistic point of view of the art of Cave Dwelle
The volume has been devoted to only the activities of the prehistoric man, or extraordinary interest and it seems to shadow all othe The scope of the book as a whole embraces however far more than the special theme of the animal art of the caves. An Excellent contribution to the art of man and its origin, progress and development. The publishers feel pleased to issue this very important study and an invaluable tool for the anthropologists, sociologists, artists and the common scholar who are interested in the origin off art.
