Primitive rock art 10,000-40,000 years ago, in today's view, possesses important aesthetics value besides its social value. The artistic charm of primitive rock art, displayed of course is its beautiful formal ,But the greater importance is the spirit contained in art of the rock. It reflects human and natural harmony unity ; It is an important enlightenment which is not limited by utility and rule -- "the imagination of the freedom" to western modem art at the beginning of the 20th century.The foundation of western modem art, for instance, Picasso , Kelly , Miro ,etc. were influence by primitive art. They draw nutrition from it, that aroused their inspirations of creation. Through the untiring efforts of these artistic revolutionary pioneer and seekers, the thoughts of various kinds of modem arts and method had constantly influenced the each field of painting , sculpture , building and art design of the same period, especially a more representative design school rising at the beginning of the 20th century -- conceptual-image, conceptual-image has very close relations to modem artistic sport. Cubism , symbolism , futurism as well as surrealism ,and a lot of successful experience in schools applied to the graphic design were form a fusion of art and design.Primitive rock with pure beauty, rich vitality displayed the artistic charm of unify in nature and harmony. These can be found in modem western art and applied extensively in art and design. Then, what makes the unity between primitive rock art and modem design across the time and distance of space? This is because of returning paces in art. The paces are a kind of trend to return. It does not get back to the origin, but returns from higher level.
