About The Return of Forgotten Dreams

-

In his latest documentary film, Werner Herzog lets dreams of our ancestors that had vanished into the depths of time for more than 30,000 years return to the public eye of our world of the twenty-first century. “Cave of Forgotten Dreams” is the title of the film about the magnificent cave paintings of Chaveau. The film opens today in Germany.

A more extensive blog entry about this was already posted on 10 July, after I was kindly invited to see the film at a screening in New York, where Werner Herzog himself was present and talked about the motivation and background for this production. Those who are interested in this blog entry, will certainly also be fascinated by “Cave of Forgotten Dreams”.

Art is like a children’s game

"It took me four years to paint like Raffael but a whole lifetime to paint like a child again."

This was said by no one less than Pablo Picasso. Even though his paintings had long been ranked by the art world among the best ever painted, learning to paint like a child was apparently a major concern of his.

Just watch children at play. In their games they create their own private world. We grown-ups perhaps don’t take this seriously and think “oh, they’re just playing”.
