The painted caves of Lascaux in the Dordogne region of France are
one of the most famed monuments of Ice Age art.


IMHO, it's just good art.
If anything, comparing plenty of "modern art" to it...
shows we're "de-evolving" at least in regard to art!

Or have evolved enough to convince some of our "weakest links" to
spend millions of dollars on a canvas covered with random paint-splatter!

ATTENTION FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST :

Thanks to Sunken Civ, from the GGG (gods,graves and glyphs)PING LIST, for posting the picture of Lascaux and the article about the magnificent paintings in the caves at Lascaux, France.

I was privileged to visit the original when I was a student in Paris. It was a private tour for museum curators and students and it was mind blowing.

I’ll post this to the FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST.
