TROM The Ugliness of Beauty | Page 8

During the prehistoric era the performing arts, which have been preserved, are figures of women, imprecise face and a strong exaggeration of body parts, related to maternity (bulging belly, big boobs, vulva and legs obese).

The concept of beauty of prehistoric man would not be linked to a narrow concept of aesthetics, but with other attributes such as health. Fatness, would in this case, be synonymous of power supply and feeding, or maternity, because every woman capable of childbearing was a precious gift to the community that all admire.

These beauty goddesses are depicted in many paintings and statues and they differ from culture to culture, and the time they were depicted.
