Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man by Salvador Dalí (1943)
Another one of well-known artworks of Dali's prophetic gift is now in the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Renaissance figure in the lower right corner of the picture is an allegory of the Old World, once capable of great accomplishments, living out its last days. Dali depicts the entire civilization of the Old World as a rather biological process, while in the other hemisphere, a New Man is about to be born.

The central image depicts a figure emerging from an egg-shaped globe, symbolizing the birth of a "New Man" and the rise of new global powers after the devastation of World War II.
