Book Synopsis Image and Audience by : Richard Bradley

Download or read book Image and Audience written by Richard Bradley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many accounts of prehistoric 'art', but nearly all of them begin by assuming that the concept is a useful one. In this extensively illustrated study, Richard Bradley asks why ancient objects were created and when and how they were used. He considers how the first definitions of prehistoric artworks were made, and the ways in which they might be related to practices in the visual arts today. Extended case studies of two immensely popular and much-visited sites illustrate his argument: one considers the megalithic tombs of Western Europe, whilst the other investigates the decorated metalwork and rock carvings of Bronze Age Scandinavia.

Book Synopsis Prehistoric Art in Europe by : Nancy K. Sandars

Download or read book Prehistoric Art in Europe written by Nancy K. Sandars and published by Puffin Books. This book was released on 1985 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Until around 10,000 B.C. art in Europe appears to have been in advance of the rest of the world, and throws a valuable if intermittent, light on the total history of early man. The great masterpieces of cave-painting at Lascaux are well known, and one tradition of early sculpture is from the first surprisingly classical. With the shelter paintings of the Spanish Levant and the clay modelling and painted pottery of eastern Europe in the fourth and third millennia B.C. fresh artistic problems were tackled. Later still evolved the high technical accomplishment of the metal-workers, and this masterly study concludes with an account of the original and exciting new departures of Celtic La Tene art of the last four centuries B.C."--BOOK COVER.
