"Riding Death"
Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1988.
In February 1987, Andy Warhol died during an uncomplicated operation. For Jean-Michel Basquiat, it was the most serious blow of his life. Warhol had been his mentor, his teacher, his guru. When Warhol died, Basquiat went into meltdown. He practically stopped writing, cut off many contacts, disappeared for a long time. In one of the last days of his life, the artist created the painting "Riding Death".

"A bull carcass"
Haim Sutin, 1924.
It is noteworthy that Haim Sutin always painted exclusively from nature. Accordingly, for "meat" still lifes he had to get acquainted with slaughterhouses. The carcass was delivered to the house, hung up, and the artist painted selflessly, occasionally pouring blood on the meat when it became weathered.

"Two Heads"
Jean-Michel Basquiat, 1982.
Basquiat gave this painting to Andy Warhol, his idol at the time. The unexpected gift had an effect on the artist. Warhol, looking at the painting in front of the entire Factory, said: "He works faster than I do. I'm really jealous." And from that very day their friendship began.

"Three Etudes to the Figures at the Foot of the Crucifixion"
Francis Bacon, 1944.
Many have tried to explain "what the author wanted to tell us with his work". Some have no doubt that the artist encoded a self-portrait in the triptych. On the left "sash" - the image of the mother: bent, subdued, faded in wax humility. On the right is the figure of the father: screaming, dominating, centaur-like. In the center is Francis himself: hissing and writhing under the oppression of paternal love.

"Lee"
Hans Giger, 1974.
When Giger's muse, Lee Tobler, saw this painting, she said: "You've made me ugly!" - and tried to destroy it by breaking the frame and cutting up the canvas. Giger, however, managed to restore the painting, and it eventually became one of his most famous works.

"The Birth Machine"
Hans Rudolf Giger, 1967.
Creepy alien-like children are not just huddled in uncomfortable poses in the clip of a gun waiting for the "shot" to be fired. The future of each of them is already predetermined: in their hands are miniature copies of the same gun with the same clip of children.

"Balloon with an eye"
Odilon Redon, 1898.
The work of the artist is usually divided into two periods: "black" and "colored". In the "black" period Redon, fascinated by the human subconscious with its fears and nightmares, created obsessive and in some places eerie charcoal drawings and printed graphics.
"Black," Redon said, "is born in the most secret depths of the soul.
