Prehistoric Painting
Author: Raoul-Jean Moulin
Hardcover with dust jacket - very good condition.
Prehistoric Painting by Raoul-Jean Moulin is a comprehensive exploration of humanity's earliest artistic expressions, tracing the evolution of prehistoric art from the Paleolithic through the Neolithic periods. The book delves into the symbolic and cultural significance of cave and rock paintings, examining their roles in early societies. Divided into three main sections, it begins with a narrative history focusing on regions such as Oceania and Africa, followed by a compilation of evidence and documents—including museum lists, chronologies, and maps—and concludes with a dictionary of relevant places and terms. Richly illustrated with color and black-and-white photographs, as well as maps, the volume offers readers a visual and scholarly journey into the origins of artistic expression. Moulin's work not only documents these ancient artworks but also interprets their meanings, shedding light on the spiritual and societal contexts in which they were created. This book serves as both an academic resource and a tribute to the enduring legacy of prehistoric artists.
