马年到了,古今中外的人都喜欢马,以马为绘画对象的历史可以说和人类的历史一样久远。在人类的童年,原始人在描画自己之前,就已经开始描绘马了,法国拉斯科洞窟岩壁上色彩鲜艳的野马应绘于距今15000年——20000年的旧石器时代。在躲避严寒的石洞里,原始人用兽血混合红土,借着升腾浓烟的兽油灯的火光,以惊人的艺术天才绘出有着黑鬃尾的红野马。他们是为举行祭祀仪式、祈求丰盛收获而工作?还是为度过漫长时间而消遣?我们已不得而知。 Year of the horse arrived, people both at home and abroad like ancient and modern horses, horses as the object of painting history can be said as long as the history of mankind. In the childhood of mankind, the primitives began to depict horses before describing themselves. The colorful wild horses on the rock walls of Lascaux, France, should be painted in the Paleolithic age from 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. In the cold cave, the primitives mixed red clay with blood of beasts and painted the red wild horse with black mane tail by the astonishing genius of art through the flare of rising oil smoke. Do they work for a sacrificial ritual, for a rich harvest, or for a long time? We have no idea.
