随着考古出土资料的增多和研究的深入,国际学术界关于“旧石器艺术”的讨论炙手可热,并逐渐趋于发展成为一门独立的学科。讨论涉及到“旧石器艺术”作为一门学科的命名、定义,学科研究所涉及的对象、范围、方法论、理论,以及与史前艺术和原始艺术等学科之间的关系。我国由于旧石器艺术时代艺术品目前发现甚少,故该方面的研究一直是弱项。不过随着学科的发展和近年来考古发现的不断增多,对旧石器艺术方面的研究应该有所加强和深入。 With the increase of archaeological data and in-depth research, discussions in the international academia about “Palaeolithic Art” have become hotly debated and gradually developed into an independent discipline. The discussion deals with the naming and definition of “Paleolithic art” as a subject, its object, scope, methodology, theory, and its relation to disciplines such as prehistoric art and primitive art. Since the art of the Paleolithic art in our country is rarely found at present, the research in this area has always been a weakness. However, with the development of disciplines and the increasing number of archaeological discoveries in recent years, the research on Paleolithic art should be strengthened and deepened.
