Funkcja estetyczna przekazu i jej rola semantyczna – malarstwo jaskiniowe i graffiti jako sztuka

Can Palaeolithic cave paintings and contemporary graffiti be qualified as art? Both of these graphic-semantic expressions, one from the beginnings of the development of writing, and the other from its end, are connected by the fact that they are only partly a reflection of their eras, they face a rejection of the status of an art form. The suggested analysis of the messages behind these written-graphic manifestations verifies them from the perspective of meeting aesthetic criteria, and at the same time, opts for their recognition as legitimate works of art.
