Cave Painting

NABULWINBULWINJ, ROCK PAINTING, AUSTRALIA

Cro-Magnon man's palette consisted of common material ground finely and mixed with animal grease, the two major colours used during this age were black and red. The artists were good at stylising their work and simplifying it. The animals are beautifully simple and their characteristic features are exaggerated and recorded. They are mostly seen in profile(viewed from the side) while they vary in their activity from standing to running to jumping. [MH] {GB}
