20世纪60年代中期作为学生、20世纪70年代作为初级讲师,我与彼得·乌科(Peter Ucko)和安德莉·罗森菲尔德(Andrée Rosenfeld)一起参与了西班牙北部史前岩画艺术研究项目。这些美丽的绘画和雕刻是在一到两万年以前由梭鲁特(Solutrian)和马格德林(Magdalenian)地区的狩猎采集民所创作的。尽管它们对于其创作者来说具有着丰富的内涵,如今却是静默无声、令人无限神往。我们或许可以寄希望于“读懂”与我们时空相隔的文明的岩画艺术,这种想法已经招致了越来越多的批评,其中大部分的意见我是赞同的。
As a student in the mid-1960s and as a junior lecturer in the 1970s, I joined Peter Ucko and Andrée Rosenfeld in a prehistoric petroglyph research project in northern Spain. These beautiful paintings and sculptures were created by hunting collectors in the Solutrian and Magdalenian regions 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. Although they are rich in content for their creators, they are now silent and fascinating. The idea that we may be able to pin down the civilization of petrified art that “reads” and separates us from time and space has led to more and more criticism, most of which I agree with.
