ICE AGE ART NOW (PB)

Features drawn and sculpted images from the final 20,000 years of the last Ice Age in the British Museum’s collection. These astounding works, some dating back to around 23,000 years ago, reveal the deep roots of drawing, sculpture and modelling in the era of the great painted caves of Lascaux in France and Altamira in Spain. Although the materials supporting the works may be different, creative techniques are achieved in the same ways today. As a reminder of this, historical and contemporary works by various artists are included to encourage new ways of seeing.
