Title/Description/Brief Analysis on
Prehistory Period
Composition
Left wall of the Hall of Bulls, Lascaux II:
Replica of the original cave, which is closed to
the public. Original cave: c. 16,000-14,000
BCE
For the Paleolithic time, mostly involves
carving on walls and stones and for this. As
can be seen in this art, it depicts animals.

Dance of the Cogul: El Cogul, Catalonia, Spain.

The painting known as The Dancers of Cogul is a
good example of the depiction of movement in
static art. In this scene, nine women are depicted,
something new in the art of this region, some
painted in black and others in red. They are
shown dancing around a male figure with an
abnormally large phallus, a figure that was rare if
not absent in Paleolithic art. Along with humans,
several animals, including a dead deer or buck
impaled by an arrow or atlatl, are depicted.
The Thinker
Created during the Hamangia culture, it is
believed to be the oldest known prehistoric
sculpture that reflects human introspection,
rather than the usual artistic concerns of
hunting or fertility.
