Cave Painting

El continuo descubrimiento de yacimientos de arte rupestre de estilo esquemático en Murcia, ha reportado hasta la fecha un importante bagaje de información, que no siempre ha sido examinada con el rigor mínimo exigible ni bajo unos parámetros que le dieran uniformidad en el contexto del arte prehistórico regional. Con este trabajo de síntesis pretendemos establecer unos puntos comunes de partida en el análisis de la pintura rupestre esquemática, para que, una vez superados los aspectos puramente estéticos, podamos avanzar en otras facetas del arte como es su contextualización cronológica y cultural y, por ende, el transfondo ideológico que lo sustenta.The ongoing discoveries of cave painting sites of the schematic style in Murcia so far has provided with an important bulk of Information, which has not always been approached by following the adequate accuracy nor guidelines so as to give shape to it within the context of the local prehistoric art. By this synthesizing piece of worlk, we intend to lay down some common starting points for the analysis of schematic cave painting. Once overecome the purely aesthetic aspects of art, we will aim to consider others, such as the chronological and cultural context and, consequently, the ideological background supporting it.

Cave Painting

Four experiments examined whether reported looming of cave paintings and petroglyphs was due to representational momentum. Participants viewed a target photograph of a cave painting or petroglyph, and then a probe photograph of the same cave painting or petroglyph was presented. The viewpoint in the probe was closer, the same as, or farther than the viewpoint in the target. Participants judged if the probe viewpoint was (a) the same as or different from the target viewpoint or (b) closer, the same distance as, or farther than the target viewpoint. Experiments 1, 2, 3A, and 3B presented photographs of objects and entities, and Experiments 4A and 4B presented photographs of handprints and stencils. In all experiments, responses were not consistent with representational momentum, but were consistent with boundary extension. It is suggested perception of looming arises with continued inspection and reflects a mismatch between previously perceived (displaced) and currently perceived information.

Cave Art

The uranium-thorium (U-Th) method can constrain the age of cave art by providing dates of formation of calcite deposits from on top of paintings or calcite layers on which paintings were done. It is particularly useful for art made without radiocarbon datable organic pigments or binders, or where contamination of radiocarbon samples is an issue. The U-Th method is outlined, including various sampling methods, checks for quality control, and a discussion of methods of correction for contaminating detritus. Recent applications of the method to the chronology of cave art are given, including a brief discussion of results that show cave paintings older than c. 40,000 years in both Spain and Sulawesi and their implication for the origins of cave painting.

At Home

In late 1975, Elaine bought a house in East Hampton, giving up her New York studio. She had come to rescue Bill from alcohol addiction. But she also traveled abroad, including trips to the Paleolithic caves in France and Spain, which provided subject matter for her last major painting series and a suite of prints. At home, she looked after Bill, worked in her studio, and roamed the beach with artist Connie Fox. Courtney Ross produced a documentary about Bill with commentary by Elaine, who served as his spokesperson as his dementia worsened. A partial lobectomy failed to stop the recurrence of Elaine’s lung cancer, yet she remained in high spirits, trying to work on her memoir. But immediately after the opening of her cave painting show at Fischbach Gallery, she was hospitalized. Elaine died on February 1, 1989; tributes at her New York memorial service lasted nearly three hours.
