Actually, I think it's fair to infer that the cave artists did have a theory of taste or aesthetics (let's call it a preference for certain ways of image making) But we need to qualify that right away by remembering that the "cave artists" of Europe painted caves over 20,000+ years --not just years ago but they worked on the cave walls over and over for 20,000 years. There are differences of "style" and some mysterious symbols. But of course no one has any sure knowledge of why they made the images. WC
