Written and narrated by Dr. John Broadbent.

Primitive art often has a direct appeal to us but its function is magical and mysterious. This first film of a new series on the art of the past looks at a number of objects from contemporary primitive societies, and also at prehistoric cave paintings, and seeks to unravel their meaning for the people who made them.
