Art is part of the human experience. People have come up with many reasons
2
to create artwork. Art also allows an artist to leave a permanent(永久的) mark on time. A painting allows the artist to keep a moment that has long passed.
When did art begin? Researchers have been working for many years to find the answer. Some have found drawings on rocks in South Africa that are 75，000 years old. They believe that these drawings are art. Other experts don't think that this finding is that impressive. They argue that the images on the rocks don't show any meaningful message. They suggest that we look to walls, specifically cave walls, to find the origin of art.
Some paintings from nearly 40，000 years ago have been found in caves in Europe and Asia. When cave art was first studied in Spain in 1880, researchers felt that it was the achievement of the earliest humans. They moved from Africa to Europe.
In the 1950s, a 39，900yearold handprint was discovered on the wall of the Sulawesi cave in Indonesia. When researchers found these cave paintings, they noticed similarities(相似物) to those found in Europe. These artists were using similar techniques and materials to create their paintings.
Photographer Stephen Alvarez feels that early cave paintings have the power to connect us to this prehistoric(史前的) world. Stephen photographed the art in the caves at ChauvetPontd'Arc, in southern France.
