Description: Niaux, France. Sketch of horse with arrows. 17/11 A major point of interest in Niaux is the symbolism and abstract character of its subject matter. This is true even when the obscurity of the symbol or the abstraction makes it difficult or impossible to comprehend the composition.; Here a long horizontal red arrow, profusely barbed, is shown, the barbs seen on the left. Above it is the sketch of a small red horse, the muzzle pointing to the right

Description: Niaux, France. The Galleries. Bison of the "Cups" detail. 17/6 As noted, one of these cups was chosen; it served to form the globe of the eye, and with this as the probable starting point, the admirable design of a bison unfolded. We have already commented on the sure and expert line, freely engraved in the clay. But equally remarkable is the quality of the design which developed from the point-of-departure of the natural "eye," the cup. Inspire

Description: Niaux, France. The Bison of the "cups". 17/5 One of the major works of Niaux -- indeed, of Quaternary art itself -- is this bison. Engraved in clay, it bears witness to the technique and graphic genius of the Magdalenian artist. In its way this work calls to mind the art of a Matisse, A Picasso, or one of the great Japanese print-makers. Here we see how, on this clay surface, natural cups were formed, little hollows created by drops of water fall

Description: Niaux, France. Trout engraved in clay. 17/4 As in the cave of nearby Bedeilhac, these clay surfaces of Niaux are rich in engravings. Unfortunately, casual visitors often failed to recognize them for what they were, trampling and frequently obliterating them. Those engravings which are preserved are the exceptions, an example being this excellent trout, measuring 11 3/4" in length and found on one of the overhangs of this gallery, before coming to t

The size of the ibex may have been deliberated, to minimize its importance vis-à-vis the bison. Of the panel. (In any case, the relation of the ibex to the bison gives no clue to its comparative age.

The animal, 39" long, rests on a rocky scale, securely positioned with its front feet on one side and its hind feet on the other.; Two heavily defined ritual arrows, represented by converging lines, wound the bison in its right fla

Description: Niaux, France. Stag in natural relief. 10/8 Here we see a most remarkable, even sensational utilization of a natural relief. In this "composition" the artist built an image about the suggestion conveyed to him by a hallow in the rock. Evidently, this concavity showed itself to him a stag's head, seen from in front, or from behind. A rocky shoulder to the right obviously suggested antlers, and it would appear that the artist forthwith defined them

Description: Niaux, France. Ibex of the Salon Noir. 6/12 The dualism between magical imperative and aesthetic suggestion allows, according to circumstances, either a happy or a tragic solution. The little horse pierced by an arrow (6/11), placed below the bison struck by three black arrows (6/7), represents a happy solution. In passing, we note a less happy solution: the vigorous croup of the large black horse here obliterates a modest little bison, drawn with

Here is the serene and majestic head of the great bison, pierced by three black arrows as seen in 6/7. Its expressive eye recalls that of the expertly engraved mammoth of Rouffignac (3/?). At Niaux, more than in any other cave yet discovered, the richness of detail provides an aesthetic delight: the

Description: Niaux, (Ariege) France. Head of horse under a crystallization. The informed mind no longer questions the authenticity of Quaternary art. But one can understand the skepticism that greeted this richness of color, this elegance and finesse drawing and -- as much as anything else -- the preserved state of works to be seen in the caves. This head of a bearded horse does not differ much from its neighbor (3/10), which we have seen before. Situated on

In September 1906 these frescoes came to the attention of Emily Cartailhac and Abbe' Bruil. From then on the paintings of Niaux became part of modern scientific knowledge. The "Salon Noir," about 800 yards deep in the cave, is decorated with masterpieces of the last stage of Magdalenian art: bison, hor
