TAILIEUCHUNG - Constraining Hypotheses on the Evolution of Art and Aesthetic Appreciation*

The single coherent form is particularly difficult to describe and assess because of the fluid transitions between the form elements which sculptor Erik Thommesen [8] have chosen to divide his sculptures in. First and foremost Thommesen uses theoretical dividing of a form into form elements when balancing the form into a harmonious whole by scaling and shifting each form element. Other effects such as rhythm, contrast, and activation of space can be processed in the same way [9]. The theoretical division of the form sometimes trigger a physical division. The following jointing of the form elements often involves implementation of. | CHAPTER 6 Constraining Hypotheses on the Evolution of Art and Aesthetic Appreciation Marcos Nadal Miquel Capó Enric Munar Gisèle Marty and Camilo José Cela-Conde If it were our purpose in this chapter to say what is actually known about the evolution of human cognition we could stop at the end of this sentence. R. C. Lewontin 1990 Researchers have attempted to explain the evolution of aesthetic appreciation and art for a long time. By the early twentiethth century and even before the end of the nineteenth century Darwinian-grounded reasoning had already led to some interesting conclusions. For instance Clay 1908 argued that the pleasure we take in looking at or listening to beautiful things played an important adaptive role throughout the evolution of our species. According to him this affective dimension of aesthetic appreciation grew out of the need to assess the suitability of environments. This viewpoint anticipated current models of the origins of aesthetic preference based on the emotional reactions to environments depending on their resources and potential dangers Kaplan 1992 Orians 2001 Orians Heerwagen 1992 Smith 2005 .

He must have been already endowed with a sense of beauty in form and symmetry . . . . He must also have been .
