This article sounds suspiciously like turtlenecked art-house nonsense so common amongst the "art" community today.
"These earliest images are multi-dimensional, integrated into a complete sensory experience."
Hah! That's what he would like to think because it is a rather pretty and poetic embellishment.
But to say that these people are drawing these pictures without any definable (or understandable-to-us) send of self seems like a stretch of anthropological imagination. While most can agree cave art is not meant to be an objective portrayal of reality he seems to argue that its creators were merely channeling some otherworldly inner vision, without individual embellishment or initiative. That these people were merely agents to some shared idea without individual will. I disagree.
"The universe was consciously felt and conceived as an organism; fundamentally benevolent, productive, mysterious and impenetrable to the rational mind; which is to say, female."
Uh, what?
