- W658534926 abstract "M. LUQUET is a stern critic of facile theorising, and he will have none of the wholesale application of analogies from the practices of primitive people to the interpretation of the facts of palheolithic culture unless supported by internal evidence. Witness his treatment of the theory that the figures of animals carved, engraved, and painted were designed with the object of the magical increase and control of the game supply. This, he maintains, can only be asserted when the animal is represented as smitten by the weapon of the hunter. He leans definitely, therefore, to the view that while the magic employment of art may be predicated of the Magdalenian period, it scarcely exists, if at all, in the Aurignacian period. When once the possibility of representation had been grasped, it was practised for its own sake, it was purely aesthetic, and its magical uses were secondary. In the same way he refuses to accept the grosser form of female representations as evidence of a mother goddess cult, but regards them as erotic. The group of women encircling a male figure at Cogul, usually regarded as a ceremonial dance, is discussed at some length. Every aspect of palaeolithic art, the cult of the dead and religion and magic, he touches upon in similar vein. M. Luquet's treatise is, with its cold logical outlook, certainly stimulating, though not always convincing. With no desire to dogmatise, it may very fairly be said that the weight of evidence as we know it at present is in favour of the magical rather than the purely aesthetic character of primitive and prehistoric art. As a corrective, however, to over-hasty enthusiasm, M. Luquet's book should be pondered by every student of prehistoric culture." @default.
