─The caves Magazines or books of time?


Although we do not know the authors of the cave paintings, there is no


human being on earth who did not know and expressed in a drawing at an


early age the acclaimed memories of our past as hominids. It is an archive


with the character of a passionate, provocative and extremely intelligent


interrogation of how we make and experience art in every era, and of the


link between genius and monstrosity. Etymologically speaking, the


expression "monstrosity" is something: - as a serious disorder of a


proportion that elements and objects should have, whether natural or


regular. Sum of ugliness, unattractiveness, deformity or disproportion in the


moral or physical. Any monstrous and immense element, thing or object,


which can cause fright or fright as a monster (^) [ 19 ]. Under this principle, the


"Monstrous" is a profoundly material process which was then


metaphorically transmuted into a matter of the spirit.
