Reply To: Prehistoric Abstraction

[csayreswoody]

I think that prehistoric art is not abstract simply because you can see what the artist is try to develop. There paintings and sculptures are clear as to what they are evening the painting in the caves you can tell what they are. the prehistoric art is far from not having a physical or concrete existence. Example i would have to use is the sculpture of the woman and how you can tell it was a woman with the many craving of the many parts of a woman, nothing about that craving was abstracted.
