New DNA analysis reveals what cavemen were really painting 35,000 years ago:
The artistic skill and attention to detail on display in prehistoric cave paintings is nothing short of astonishing, but one unsolved mystery is whether prehistoric humans simply painted exactly what the saw, or if the art was more symbolic. And recently, we've come a lot closer to answering that question.
Some years ago, Picasso, when looking at some cave paintings said something along the lines of: we have learned nothing.
All of the pretentious, much lauded paint daubers and pallet abusers should study these ancient works; then go make pizzas . An elephant once "sold" a work to a gullible New York gallery...so that should tell all you need to know regarding the high end art market.
