Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - The discovery of two painted tombs in the plain of Elmali, recently visited by the honored recipient of this volume and discussed by him on that occasion, direct one's thoughts toward the problem of the continuity of the art of wall painting in ancient Anatolia and its relationships to the art of its neighbors, specifically to Greek painting. Anatolia has spectacular early examples of wall painting from the neolithic town at Catal Hüyük, which seem, to contain reminiscences of even earlier, perhaps Palaeolithic art. The paintings of Qatal Hüyük are done in a simple technique of native colors on a white background covering the mud plaster of mudbrick walls1. Once the art of wall decoration was established in Anatolia c. 6000 B. C, it is unlikely to have been given up as a form of ornamental treatment of architecture and meaningful design in domestic (or, as the case may be, ritual, sacred, ceremonial, palatial) environment.
