Bibliography

Flintstone, Fred. A History of Prehistoric Sculpture. New York: Abrams, 1997.

This book provided good historical information on prehistoric sculptures, such as the "Woman of Willendorf" and even some architecture (such as Stonehenge). However, the quality of the images wasn't very impressive, and it was difficult to make out the features of some sculpted items.

________. Personal interview. 20 December 1995.

This interview with Mr. Flintstone explores his views about the quarry art movement, his involvement in local Socialist politics, and his affinity with the burgeoning arts and crafts movement.

The Flintstones. Dir. Brian Levant. Perf. John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, Rick Moranis, Rosie

O'Donnell. Universal, 1994.

This film is funny and entertaining, but I think the writers' interpretation of the story of Fred and Wilma and their friends suffers from lack of plausibility.

Headstone, Rock. "The Boundary Between Art and Labor." Quarry Art Reporter 23 July 1993:

12. Proquest. CD-ROM. Sept. 1993.

Headstone is a renowned Leftist art historian, and in this article he summarizes his belief that many quarry workers are in fact artists and craftsmen. He also believes strongly that these workers are being exploited by being paid wages much lower than those of recognized artisans, simply because their work is confined to the quarry.

"Prehistoric Art." Art History Resources on the Web. Ed. Chris Witcombe. Nov. 1999. Sweet

Briar College. 2 January 2002. <http://witcombe.sbc.edu/ARTHprehistoric.html>.

This is a useful links page for all aspects of prehistoric art.

"Prehistoric Art." The Oxford English Dictionary. 2nd ed. CD-ROM. Oxford: Oxford UP, 1992.

The OED provides the best historically derived difinitions of words in common usage.

Rubble, Barney. "Between a Rock and a Hard Place." Stories from the Quarries. Ed. Wilma

Flintstone. Chicago: U of Chicago Press, 1992.

In one of many articles on the trials and tribulations of quarry workers in an excellent volume, Rubble's piece talks about the difficulty of trying to maintain his desired level of craftsmanship in a market economy that values quantity over quality.

Rubble, Betty. "Fred Flintstone's Artistic Impact on Bedrock." Quarry Digest 109 (1994): 61-70.

This short article amounts to a paean to a friend; it's interesting, but not very objective. Mrs. Rubble seems to think Fred hung the moon--after having chiseled it out of stone. I wonder how Barney feels about this.

Witcombe, Chris. "Women in Prehistory: The 'Venus' of Willendorf." July 1999. Sweet Briar

College. 6 January 2002. <http://www.arthistory.sbc.edu/imageswomen/willendorfdiscovery.html>

I used this article for both information and images. Witcombe, who is responsible for maintaining a very useful links site on art history, discusses the possible uses of the portable figures until recently known as "Venuses" and the necessity for revising popular interpretations of the images.

Woman from Willendorf. Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. Art History (2nd Ed.) By Marilyn

Stokstad. New York: Prentice Hall/Abrams, 2002. 46.

This single image has caused more controversy than any other prehistoric object. Stokstad's comments are straightforward and factual, and place the image in its wider context.
