‘Humans were not centre stage’: how ancient cave art puts us in our place
1 DAY AGO - In a world corrupted by personal and political narcissisism, the anonymous, mysterious cave Expand
1 DAY AGO - In a world corrupted by personal and political narcissisism, the anonymous, mysterious cave artwork of our ancient ancestors is exhilarating. By Barbara EhrenreichIn 1940, four teenage boys stumbled, almost literally, from German-occupied France into the Paleolithic age. As the story goes – and there are many versions of it – they had been taking a walk in the woods near the town of Montignac when the dog accompanying them suddenly disappeared. A quick search revealed that their animal companion had fallen into a hole in the ground, so – in the spirit of Tintin, with whom they were probably familiar – the boys made the perilous 15-metre descent to find it. They found the dog and much more, especially on return visits illuminated with paraffin lamps. The hole led to a cave, the walls and ceilings of which were covered with brightly coloured paintings of animals unknown to the 20th-century Dordogne – bison, aurochs and lions. One of the boys later reported that, stunned and elated, Collapse

10 HRS AGO - Tate LiverpoolThe US artist has turned his powerful gaze on Malaga, a self-determined, racially mixed island that was cleared of its inhabitants – and the bones of their ancestorsA black architectural wedge angles up to the roof, its cut slate slopes glowering in the gallery. More slate – broken this time and reminiscent of a Richard Long sculpture – makes a black circle on the floor, where a plinth sits, topped by a revolving green neon sign saying “MALAGA”. There’s more: a huge blackboard chalked with notes about Liverpool’s and Bristol’s role in the slave trade; about brown babies and “half-castes”; about the state of Maine’s anti–race-mixing laws; that in 1973, Theaster Gates was born free.There is an awful lot to take in, let alone unpack, in Gates’s Amalgam, a restaging of a show held earlier this year at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Amalgam is a near-anagram of Malaga. Each of the works here is an amalgam of sculptures and signs, the real and the remade. There is music. There Collapse

He particularly enjoyed the jerky, deliberately awkward movements of its 22-year-old star, Nijinsky, an endorsement that led the dancer to sit for the artist. Continue reading... Collapse

So I always chose colours – yellow, red, blue – that punctuated that aspect of her’It was 1977 and I was shooting Patti Smith for the cover of her album Easter. I was thinking a lot about Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the palette he uses in his painting The Annunciation: white for purity, red for the blood of Christ, blue for the heavens.Patti brought the white dress, which had been given to her by Robert Mapplethorpe. She brought the red scarf too – she still has it. And one of us threw in the feathers. The blue background is pretty much the exact blue in the Rossetti. That’s not what makes Patti’s eyes pop though. She has Elizabeth Taylor eyes. They always pop. Continue reading... Collapse
