Aboriginal Art, Australia Aboriginal art was highly developed long before Europeans arrived in Australia. At one site in South Australia, for example, cave markings were made around 18,000 bc. Some historians argue that rock art may even have been a part of Aboriginal culture for as long as 40,000 years, and while the meaning and context of their production are as much a matter for debate as their chronology, they exhibit a remarkable consistency in iconography, materials, and technique, surviving European colonization and continuing right through to the present. The figures in rock paintings like these were thought to be the spirits of the artists.
