BEAUTY OR NOT BEAUTY

Today I'm gonna talk about the video: ¨A Darwinian Theory of Beauty?¨by Denis Dutton. Dutton thinks that since the homo erectus to the actual human being, the experience of beauty and beauty elements work equally, based in the "Darwinian Theory of Evolution". Maybe is right in the case of natural beauty, but is difficult to think that a homo erectus can get an aesthetic experience in his condition of oppressed by the nature. In the case of the artistic beauty I completely disagree. In first place, Lascaux and the other examples can´t be considered art, they are only ruins of the past, we can`t know how it was. Besides of this, the concept "Art" is modern, before of this we can only defined this like an image. In second place, we need carry out an intelectual operation for enjoy the beauty: the consciousness. And repeat, I don´t think that it can be possible in a homo erectus, even in a ancient human. The other thing about the artistic beauty is that since the beginning of the XX century, in Art, the most important issue is no longer the beauty. Beauty would be a design, clothes, an ornamental paint, but no more in Art.
