"Biomechanoids"
Hans Giger, 1968.
Giger became famous with the publication of the book "Necronomicon", which has nothing to do with Lovecraft's works. As early as 1968, he drew illustrations for the Biomechanoids series, special creatures that are a combination of biological life forms and technology.

"Metamorphosis of Narcissus"
Salvador Dalí, 1937.
In this work one can see the result of the painter's interpretation of the Greek myth of Narcissus. The boy is depicted on the left side of the canvas, his head resting on his knee. The reflection on the right shows a cracked hen's egg from which a daffodil flower emerges.

"Two Masks"
Giorgio de Chirico, 1926.
Giorgio de Chirico, the founder and theorist of metaphysical painting, unlike his fellow artists never changed the principles formulated in 1917 in a hospital in Ferrara. Metaphysical painting is characterized by a special combination of elements of reality and fantasy, the author's deliberate distortion of space in his paintings and the absence of living human characters.

"Alien Players"
Conroy Maddox, 1942
Conroy Maddox used an unusual technique for his surrealist works - collage, more usual for works, for example, in the style of pop art. At the same time, initially Conroy independently discovered surrealism, a direction not very popular in England.
The greatest influence on the development of his own artistic style, according to the artist, influenced the works of Salvador Dali, René Magritte

"Anxiety"
Edvard Munch, 1894.
Like many other paintings by Edvard Munch, this creation is also not at all pleasing to the eye. It is believed that in this work the artist tried to express his feelings of despair and grief, which is a constant theme in the work of the painter, who for a long period of his life was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Number 17A"
Jackson Pollock, 1948.
The artist even during his lifetime stirred up the public with his works: some considered his work a common ointment, and some could not contain admiration. The master created an experimental drip technique: he splashed paint on a horizontally arranged canvas. Thanks to the abundance of paint on the canvas, a complex swirl of different colors is created, in which it is unrealistic to find where the upper and where the lower layers are. In 2015, the work was purchased by American entrepreneur Kenneth Griffin for $200 million.
