Trivia: Inspired by Spanish rock art, who said “after Altamira, all is decadence”?
Pablo Picasso
Salvador Dali
Michaelangelo
Vincent Van Gogh
The correct answer is Pablo Picasso
So why is this answer correct? : Located in Northern Spain, the Cave of Altamira is the first cave in which Paleolithic cave art was identified after its discovery in 1868. The earliest paintings in the cave have been dated to around 36,000 years ago. Pablo Picasso famously admired the detailed and colorful art and said, “After Altamira, all is decadence.” Altamira differs from most cave art of the time in its detail and color.
