Cave wall painting
At Chauvet, a huge range of different fauna are represented. This cave bear and rhinoceros (in the image) are joined by many other species, including lions, horses, ibex, bison, aurochs, mammoths, panthers, reindeer and even an owl. Additionally, as well as human hand stencils, there are also insect-like geometric signs and some sexual images to be found. The purpose and meaning of all these paintings remains, in most respects, enigmatic.

For Danto en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Danto this is proof that what makes something art is not its intrinsic qualities but how it is situated and valued by the appreciators of Art. Patting himself on the back, he says that this is exactly why artists need theories of art – not just critics who like and dislike, but thinkers who explain why something matters:
It is the role of artist theories, these days as always to make the artwork and art, possible. It would I should think, never have occurred to the painters of Lascaux that they were producing art on those walls. Not unelss there were neolithic aestheticans . . . Brillo boxes may reveal us to ourselves as well as anything might: as a mirror held up to nature, they might serve to catch the conscience of our mings. ~ Page 74 (Survival of the Beautiful - Author: David Rothenberg)
