Description:Keywords
The figurative syntax of Early Hunters. A couple of anthropomorphic figures is reduced to schemes, where the ideograms are indicative: the exaggerated penis for the male and the pubic triangle for the female. Heads and limbs are disregarded. The "batonnet" on the back of the female is likely to express the action or the relationship the artist intended to express. It appears as a sort of verb in a visual sentence, like "to do" or "to penetrate". Penis
Pubic triangle
