Why
Borneo : Memory of the Caves?
We have selected this book on the discovery of
thousands of handprints from prehistory (14,500 years BP) for the
beauty of the publication thanks to Luc-Henri Fage’s photography
and personal account which lay out the first visible plastic works
giving a narrative and spiritual sense to rock art. Jean-Michel
Chazine draws land bridges between the first Austroasian peoples,
to the island of Borneo from Australia, the land of 50,000 years
of continuous occupation of Indigenous Peoples.
We read this beautiful book to begin to see art history with our
eyes wide open.
