"Art, as this book makes beautifully clear, is a fundamental part of the human condition... [An] accessible and well-organised book... This book [...] should please anybody interested in either art or prehistory... And, in our fast-paced 21st-century world where art is so often equated with ephemeral values, it's salutary to be reminded of painting’s enduring place in a society that lasted five times longer than the whole of recorded history."―Art World
"This sumptuous book improves on the reality: there are almost 250 photographs here, showing some of the finest examples of this mysterious underground art... If you want to really pore over this magnificent prehistoric artistic tradition, this is the book for you."―BBC History Magazine
