Tracing the origin of Painting we land up on the impressive creations of the
old stone age humans. These are large-scale paintings representing animals
which decorate the walls and ceilings of the caves of Lascuax in France and of
Altamira in Spain.
The
paintings show life-like images of animals-bulls, horse, antelops and mostly
represented from the side and often standing in an alert position.
The
paintings on the so called wall in the ' hall of bulls' in Lascuax, France
dated about 15000 BC show large bulls moving leftwards. They are drawn in
black, with horns in double perspective, their liveliness is achieved by the
energy of the broad rthymic outlines. These multicoloured images were first
drawn in fine, usually with a sharp flint and then modelled in color made from
charcoal and real yellow and brown ochre. The paintings show a fine balance
between fidelity to nature and artistic forms.
