This cave painting is 30.000 years old which is just amazing to me :allears:


This is legitimately a great piece of art. It uses the least possible amount of linework while still giving a super accurate representation of a bear, including implied perspective (on the head).

Also consider that there was absolutely no way for a person at that time to get a good view of a bear without being close as hell to them, I'm very impressed.

Compare that to this rendition from the middle ages. Did Europeans just forget how to draw somehow?

It’s also cool how they picked the crappiest, non-flat spot to draw some poo poo on, like you’d miss it just passing through. It’s almost like someone specifically wanted to show off line art relief mapping as a measure of authenticity, since it’s not a commercially available photo manipulation technique. I.E. if you can’t fake it, it can’t be faked, etc. Extra-embellished rock variations. Yet no artist in their right mind would choose to draw there or bother to make the perspective correct if their repertoire only included flat line drawings. I’m guessing someone raytraced some rocks and scanned some poo poo out of the kindergarten trash bin. :shrug:

To be fair, they had a lot more free time.

In fact, hunter/gatherer tribes today pretty much all say that they work about 4-6 hours a day and the rest of the time is spent on leisure.

I'd much rather have that than my stupid email job and a mortgage, lifespan be damned.

I don't really work more than 4 hours in my fake email job either, plus my "leisure" time doesn't include running away from bears, so I think we should keep this in perspective

Sort of?

The emphasis was more about the symbolism of the given object than the supposed correctness of it. In something like that piece which likely comes from a manuscript of some sort it was likely drawn and painted by a monk/scribe. It's unlikely they saw bears with any frequency at that point, so largely had to go from memory. Medieval zoos/menageries were pretty uncommon, not to mention probably seen as very secular and the purviewof the rich. A place where monks generally didn't go. It's likely that if they had seen a bear it would've been in their peasant-ish youth. So, from a composition perspective it's still very good and you can infer what it is. Try drawing or painting something you haven't seen since your childhood off memory alone.

drat that's really good for being so old, wikipedia has some other cool paintings from the same cave







on first impact it's really surprising to see how stylish these are, but if I stop to think about it I know that the world is full of naturally talented observers/drawers that manage to draw well even without any formal education and without refined tools like pencils or brushes

I can only imagine how many other pieces of art have been produced in the early history of mankind that must have been lost to time just because they weren't in a good sheltered cave

Why would any artist with the skills to draw in perspective make a line drawing that only looks correct from a specific vantage, and if it was an act of preservation who is going to have a reasonable comparison not knowing what animal it’s supposed to look like in the first place? :thunk:

A lot of it is stylistic as well, this was just the style of the time. It's wrong to assume all artists are trying to draw a lifelike representation of a thing, you don't look at a Picasso painting and say 'lol he can't draw fuckin face! People don't look like that!'

yeah of course I know it's not like humanity magically lost the ability to draw things at a certain point

but I still laugh when I see some of the goofy renditions of animals that have been drawn throughout the history of human art

We're just assuming that's supposed to be a bear. For all we know that artist was trying to draw a rabbit.
