An Interpretation of Parietal Art : Based on Research of Integration

For recent years, I have studied an artistic phenomenon of Parietal Art, Integration. It might be defined as coincidence between the natural form of rock surface and contour line of realistic animal figure. In this paper, I try to interpret Cave Art based on my consideration of Integration. Since the discovery of Cave Art at Altamira in late 19th Century, so many hypotheses to interpret motives and themes of the magnificent art in darkness have been presented. Among them, theory has been recognized as a common sense for those that are interested in Prehistoric Art. But other interpretations are possible from the viewpoint of my Integration investigation. As I estimate that Integration might be possible with human's capacity of Representation, my quest for its significance would lead me to interpret Parietal Art in my own way. Representation should have several meanings such as pleasure, possession=control, pre-being, signs and so on. Considering these aspects, I have come to think that the Palaeolithic might find out realistic animal images on the natural rock surface with simple lamps in darkness under the plural reasons of =autonomies, efficiency, belief, approach, and others. Here I would like to add my own interpretation of Parietal Art according to my research of Integration. Judging from my phenomenological methodology, the people would make sense to the world by looking out their image of animal on the natural rock surface in darkness of caves, with simple lamps. And I will continue my own way to the full understanding of Parietal Art.departmental bulletin pape
