Abstract

The materialization and sharing of everyday experiences found in artistic production their main instrument of recording, enabling a large part of the history of human beings to be unveiled. The central objective of this article is to understand the function of Art as a historical-cultural interlocutor in the trajectory of the human being. As a research methodology, we sought to establish a link between artistic artifacts and the history of social human beings. Based on this assumption and considering the reflections of theorists such as: Christoph Wulf, Edgar Morin, Walter Benjamin, and Aby Warburg, it was possible to establish a relationship between artistic production and the evolutionary process of human beings. A procedure that allowed legitimizing the thought that admits: the entire history of human beings can only be told through art.
