Drawing Animals in the Paleolithic: The Effect of Perspective and Abbreviation on Animal Recognition and Aesthetic Appreciation

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of Pleistocene figurative cave art in Western Europe consists of line drawings depicting large herbivores from the side view, and outlines were sometimes abbreviated to the head‐neck‐dorsal line. It is often assumed that the side view was used because it facilitates animal recognition compared to other views, and that abbreviated ...
