Why is it that humans like creating art? Denis Dutton, a philosopher, claims in his 2009 book The Art Instinct that art is a need built into our systems, a sophisticated and nuanced evolutionary adaption equivalent to our ability to communicate.

We, humans, evolved to appreciate art because it aids our survival; for example, even in current times, a well-expressed enjoyment of art can assist us in finding a spouse. It's a daring statement to make, but one that Dutton backs up with examples from a wide range of art history.
