Abstract
The Art-Historian Ernst Gombrich has been a critic of the philosophical assumptions of the iconology of Erwin Panofsky because in this theory, both work of art and its creator scatter in the generality of «culture». Nevertheless, projected on contemporary art, both historiographic theories must refl ect their limits. Basing on the philosophy of Karl Popper, Gombrich expresses distance in relation to the historicism of the Modern Art in general, indicating the dominant «hegelianism» in the production and aesthetical refl ection of the XX Century. We maintain in this article that in this critic Gombrich elaborates a perceptive characterization of Contemporary Art
