"Dangerous Liaisons"
René Magritte, 1926.
In his paintings, he created a world of fantasy and dreams out of real things, immersing viewers in an atmosphere of reverie and mystery. The artist was brilliantly able to "direct" their feelings. It would seem that the world created by the artist is static and solid, but always the unreal invades the ordinary, destroying this familiar world.

"The Seven Ages of Woman"
Hans Baldung Green, 1544.
The exaggeration of the anatomical structure of the figures is an anti-classical trait; using elements of the grotesque, the master endows the images with powerful expression. Despite the realistic treatment of individual details and the spatial construction of the composition, Baldung's works seem to belong to the world of the late Middle Ages, the world of legends and allegories.

"Still Life with Peacocks"
Rembrandt van Rijn, 1639.
Rembrandt could not but pay tribute to the genre of still life, which was widespread and fashionable at that time in Holland. This painting is one of the few works by the painter in this genre, but even in it Rembrandt achieved a remarkable psychologism.

“Woman and Death”
Edvard Munch, before 1894.
The etching “Woman and Death” belongs to the symbolist period of the artist's work. The skeleton, representing Death, has drawn the young woman into a dance, and the pair are engulfed in a passionate kiss. Death does not care about a person's age, rank, or gender when he comes to invite them to dance with him.

“Always with me”
Paco Lafarga, 2005.
The artist explains his intention:
“This is one of my first paintings. I started painting late, but with great enthusiasm. It is a painting of my grandmother - we loved each other very much, we had a good relationship and we cared for each other. I was there in her last moments. After she died, I came across the picture we took then, although it was hard to look at - it's my hands in her hands. It was painful to draw it, but I was inspired by the photo and decided to give it a try.”

Leonora Carrington, 1968.
It is said that there was something mystical, even diabolical - akin to alchemy or witchcraft - in the process of her painting.

"The Court of the Madhouse"
Francisco Goya, 1794.
By the time he completed this work, Goya was already a well-recognized artist who had received a great many commissions from very wealthy patrons. He did not have to paint additional pictures to make ends meet, but during that period of his career he created about a dozen rather gloomy paintings. They testified to his not-so-good mental state at the time.

"Dora and the Minotaur"
Pablo Picasso, 1936.
The Minotaur for Picasso has always been the character in which he reflected his alter ego, and in this work the artist captures a particular phase of his personal life - the passionate relationship with his new lover, Dora Maar.

“Moulage Studio”
Franz Sedlacek, 1932.
Sedlacek shows us a scene in which a well-dressed man of sinister appearance comes into the moulage studio with his porter and a suitcase in hand. A woman draws a half-dressed mannequin in a back room. Busts and fully clothed mannequins fill shelves and cabinets. “The Doctor” who runs the studio has removed the top half of the skull from the mannequin and is showing off the goods to a newly arrived customer, but what does the customer want from him? ⠀

Opinion of our subscriber about this picture:
In my opinion, this painting delves into the inner selves of humans, highlighting that it doesn't matter how luxurious, perfect, educated, or aware you appear to be, in the end, you harbor foolish desires and impulses that you secretly indulge in, without telling anyone. While you're not the only one drawn towards emptiness and vanity, we are all the same in this regard. Yet, we keep this universal and naked secret hidden from each other. We are all monsters.

“What the head of the guillotined man sees in the first three moments after the execution”
Antoine Joseph Wirz, 1855.
People for several centuries have been haunted by the same question: how long does the process of execution last for a criminal whose head is taken away? To what limits in time stretches the dying process of the head separated from the torso, is there any thoughts, regrets about what he has done, remorse, unwillingness to leave life? Can the soul, separated by the executioner's axe, be reunited again after physical death?

“The Wave”
Carlos Schwabe, 1907.
Apparently, this painting is the fruit of creative proscopia: in it, the artist predicts the approach of war, which claimed millions of human lives. It also echoes Edvard Munch's The Scream.

“The Battle for Woman”
Franz von Stuck, 1905.
Although von Stuck's paintings do not contain any direct references to the events of the time, their mood clearly suggests the spiritual state of society. If you look closely, the faces of the characters in von Stuck's paintings always show signs of madness and insanity - this is another reference to the bloody events of that time. The whole world went mad.
