Une composition de deux bisons sculptés de la frise de l'abri Bourdois à Angles-sur-l'Anglin (Vienne)

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT The theme of two bison following each other, placed apart from other animals, is not rare in Magdalenian art. The specificity of the scene from Abri Bourdois at the Roc aux Sorciers, Angles-sur-l'Anglin (Vienne, France), is that it depicts two sexed bison. The position of a male following a female shows an original scene. The concern for realistic detail by the artist helps to recall the live model. The rock face support and the subjects are closely connected and influence each other in attaining this artistic composition. The wealth of natural reality is exploited by the artist in order to create a scene which must certainly bear a meaning.
