The paintings and drawings of the Chauvet cave are, to this date, the oldest tokens of human artistic expression. Their strength and modernity have upended all the accepted ideas regarding prehistoric art.
The new opening of a large museum dedicated to the reproduction of these works is a perfect opportunity to take a very close look at those paintings, drawings and engravings. Thus, can we at last understand their technical refinements and recapture their immense emotional power.
