Our (восприятие) of painted animals cannot be different from that of the people who (изобразили) them so many thousands of years ago. Until we learn to decipher the (знаки и символы) appearing in the (пещерная живопись) we have no real clue as to what may have been going through the minds of the (художники). The expressions of the (изображенные животные) are so intense, the outlines are painted with force and freedom. Perhaps (доисторические художники) experienced deep creative pleasure in what they were doing. (Концепция) of action is essentially action. This (изображение) identifies, then, the artist's movements of arm and hand with those of the animals the artist (создает). The fact that the individual images were so often (писали) right over one another would in itself show that the moment of creation, whether religious, magical, or some mysterious combination of both, was more important than the final (доисторическое искусство) and its survival.
