Life goes by into the incessant flow of time, as many incidents and feelings arose; the most meaningful are condensed into experiences. When the experience broadens into society, by the means of individual interchanges in a social and historical time, the experience space is built. The artists obtain their experiences in this space and in them resides the germ of their creation; the artistic creation process is an aesthetics experience, the same way its reception is. In this paper, we show that the creative seed of Anton Kannemeyer germinated because of his indignation regard to the oppression of Africans in the apartheid; he was conscious about the injustice and he became an activist by capturing his revolutionary ideas in his cartoons, comics and artistic works.
