Paleolithic Cave Painting and the Emergence of Consciousness in the Two Million Year Old Man

5 consecutive Tuesdays, 7:00–8:30pm
Beginning October 6, 2020
Instructor: Harmar D. Brereton, MD

We will review the background to the emergence of human consciousness and the artistic behavior of humans in Paleolithic Europe.

Definitions of consciousness, symbol and art will be established followed by a brief review of human evolution and migration out of Africa along with the conditions in Europe 40,000 years ago which fostered the remarkable variety of artistic expression. We will examine why the caves may have been painted, considering the many possibilities. We will view examples of Portable and Parietal art with an emphasis on the caves of Altamira, Les Cavernes du Volp, Lascaux and Chauvet as well as examples from many other caves.

Finally, we will look at recent discoveries which suggest remarkably modern artistic concepts and techniques. Each presentation will take about 60-75 minutes with time for discussion and questions if possible.

CE’s are not offered for this course.
