Notes on Lascaux

‘The French Army had just been defeated when the cave of Lascaux was discovered, in September 1940. A while later, secrets and hideouts were everywhere. The subterranean night extended its welcome once more.’

Maël Renouard is a French writer, Prix Goncourt finalist in 2020. His historical and aesthetical contemplation on the Lascaux Cave enlivens a conceptual space for the spectator’s dream.

This book is translated from Notes sur Lascaux (Éditions du Sandre, 2018).
