 Artist Approved! November 8, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My artwork is inspired by the cave paintings of Lascaux, France, and this is *the* book I take with me to shows and exhibits to explain my work. Although supposedly geared for elementary age readers, I find the book an excellent, coherent overview to this amazing art. The photographs are first-rate. The modern paintings of imagined scenes from the past are well done--attractive, detailed, well-rendered, keeping in the same spirit as the actual artwork depicted. And the text is well-written, balanced, thoughtful, rich in imagery, and sometimes poetic. The book is actually more beautifully done, and more informative, than the college texts that I studied in the 1970's about the Lascaux cave. I highly recommend this title, not only as a first introduction to this amazingly rich artwork, but as a sweet little book to round out a serious collection on the subject.

Students studying European cave art will find this an excellent resource. Great color photographs of many of the most famous cave pictures along with text at an appropriate reading level for upper elementary grades make this a worthwhile addition to any classroom or personal library. I use this book with my 6th grade Humanities curriculum.
