Whoah, seeing the cave drawing next to Michelangelo is unexpected and really thrilling. I am amazed, what wonderful foreshadowing; what wonderful art and ways of seeing that connect all of humanity through time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Michael your work is always so intriguing and inviting to read. While in France did you visit the Cave drawings? I think that would be a fascinating visit. And placing them next to Michangelo’s work is totally unexpected like Jenn mentioned. It’s a fascinating study from an Artist’s perspective, I’m sure! Thank you!

Thank you Charlotte! I so wanted to go to Chauvet Cave!!! But it is permanently closed to the public, they offer a copy, another cave, with a contemporary artist recreating the images : (((( I would hate seeing that. Not like seeing Van Gogh’s room at the St Remy institution those were the ground van gogh painted, and where he lived in his last years. Extremely touching experience.
