Reply To: Prehistoric Abstraction

I only partially agree with your point on the lion-human. Yes, it seems very precise, but sometimes that’s not the point of abstract art. It truly depends on if the creator was intending to create a hybrid or so as the note on the photo says: depict someone wearing a mask. The truth could be a mix of the two, as the lion-human could represent a link between someone wearing the mask during a ceremony and an actual lion.
