Abstract
Phenomenon of art apparently exceeds the functional. I ask why art exists at all or why it is so prevalent in human behavior.
I have chosen and further examined theory of Geoffrey Miller who claims that art might be a product not of natural selection but of sexual selection. Two hypothesis were tested empirically in a form of on-line personal ads.
Results show, that neither more nor younger women answer to those ads, which contain expression of artistic talent thus resuls do nost support Miller's theory.
