Abstract

In an era of disasters, wars and lethal diseases, the anthropological evolution that the society should undertake, has become a un-evolution in contemporary art. Contemporary art has hosted an apocalyptic time looking for a spell to fantasy. Today’s artists have been appointed
universal prophets against pessimism and despair who introduce the world to the man of the XXI century through the eyes of a child. Thus, this article defines the parameters that
contemporary art follows returning to the origins of childhood, fairy tales, the unconsciousness, and the dawn of Neanderthal man and reviewing Surreal and Freudian theories in contrast
with John Berger’s ways of seeing. As in the Strange Case of Benjamin Button, the challenge of the creative man is not aging, but becoming a child
