Once they were a form of religion, nowadays I am not sure.
I like graffiti, actually, as long as they are not a form of vandalism: my hometown is both spoilt and embelished by them... it depends on where they are drawn.
Hmmm, I was having some technical difficulties commenting. Anyway, very cool picture-- who knew graffiti artists were literate in ancient french cave drawings?
It makes me think of a werewolf... About your question, in the ancient times, walls of caverns were the only "paper" to write on..They had no choice, when today's drawers have. So cave art was also an ancient form of writing , of art, of drawing, of information..
This puts me in mind of graffiti on the casing of the River Tiber just near the bridge to the Vatican. It shows various scenes of Romulus and Remus and must be quite old by now.
Well, this is way better than most graffiti. When I saw the thumbnail on my own blog, I thought, "Hey, has she gone to Lascaux?" You had the same idea. A little off-topic, but (and you probably knew this), in a house in Townshend, they found wall paintings of Pompeii. Was that common in your area, or a total anomaly?

I think someone has seen one too many horror flicks.
I think that I prefer the art in the Cave of Lascaux! Great shot, though!
Looks like it!!
It was more art than graffiti I think.
I like the road runner or whatever it is...
But not on a public/private wall.
Morons!
I think it is ARTY and quite nice! :-)

It looks very scary :(
Graffiti is sometimes great art
but this ......
;-)
A wolf, representing the shadows of the night or something, is not very nice idea, but is very well designed!

There are some graffiti artists that are extremely talented....I just hate that they feel it's OK to deface someone's property. Hate it.

A Halloween leftover? Scary, and really good!
I didn't think they DID graffiti in VT! (LOL)
That sinister animal is really cool!

Sad to say-- in comparison, it looks like the cave art takes the 'Best of Show' by a landslide! Oh brother...
Lol, did they have peep shows in those days?!
Good question! Maybe so!
Great, art in a democratic way!
