Description
Summary:The traditional approach to European Late Iron Age art involves significant biases that particularly affected Brittany. However, it has evolved considerably in recent years. « Celtic » art from the La Tène period has often been compared to a form of language, but this approach comes up against many practical problems, raising the questions of context and meaning. An alternative approach consists in considering decorated objects rather than as a way of transmitting a message, as a tool at the service of social mechanisms. This article offers a critical analysis of the construction of the concept of Celtic art, then an overview of the potential of its study in Brittany in order to shed light on other archaeological data on Iron Age societies and their evolution.
