The prehistoric wall paintings from the Ruchera Cave in Simbabwe depict in several layers big elephants, numerous types of animals and human beings. They were created approx. 30.000 - 2.000 years BC.
Where do the origins of art lie? The German ethnologist Leo Frobenius pursued this question at the beginning of the 20th century. In more than two dozen expeditions he and his team explored the cave art in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Among the expedition teams were many artists. They produced over 8,000 painted copies of these sensational images that take us 20,000 years into the past. Today, they are still in the possession of the Frobenius Institute in Frankfurt am Main.
For modern artists, the discovery of the cave art was a crucial experience. Many were inspired by these primordial beginnings of art.
