It turns out, artists have been using some of the same techniques for tens of thousands of years.
事實證明,數萬年來藝術家們一直在使用同樣的技術。
A team of excavators discovered 16 engraved limestone blocks that date back 38,000 years. One depicts a woolly mammoth in pointillist style.
一組發掘者發現16塊可追溯至38,000年前的雕刻石灰石塊。一幅雕刻中用了點彩派風格描繪一頭猛犸象。
In that technique, artists use small dots to create a larger image. The style was adopted by 19th- and 20th-century artists, such as Georges Seurat and Camille Pissarro.
在該技術中,藝術家使用小點來創建一個更大的圖像。該風格被19世紀和20世紀的藝術家所使用,例如喬治·修拉和卡米耶·畢沙羅。
But the discovery supports previous findings that people used this style tens of thousands of years before Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."
但發現支持了先前的研究,在修拉創作“在拉·格蘭德·加特島的一個星期天下午”數萬年以前,人們就已經使用這種風格。
The same team reported earlier this year it uncovered a pointillist image of an extinct wild cow from the same ancient time period.
同一小組報告,今年早些時候發現了一幅來自同一時期滅絕的野生牛點彩圖像。
Similar paintings have also been found in the Chauvet Cave in France, showing even our ancient ancestors knew a thing or two about art.
類似的繪畫也已在法國肖維巖洞穴發現,表明我們古老的祖先對藝術也略知一二。
