“Beating with Flowers”
Molino Walter, 1957
The picture is based on real events. The action took place in the Italian city of Turin, near the train station. A 28-year-old girl Guida Rinino was walking past the station to visit her relatives. Judging by her smart clothes and a bouquet of flowers, she was going to some family celebration, perhaps someone's birthday.
As she turned onto a deserted path, an unknown man approached her and wanted to meet her. The lady firmly refused, but the man proved annoying. He walked beside her and did not lag behind, insisting on acquaintance. Then the girl couldn't stand it and hit him several times with a bouquet of roses, after which she ran away.
Guida went to the police and the story was publicized. It is not known whether the bully was found, but the moment of beating with flowers was immortalized by Molino Walter and gained popularity. Many jokes and memes have been made from this illustration. It is especially often used as a meme for the March 8 holiday.

Quentin Massys “The Ugly Duchess,” 1513.
What is the basic intent and joke of the painting? Massais reinforces his sarcasm not only by the ugliness of the old woman, but also by her outfit and details of her behavior. The headdress on the woman is the height of fashion at the turn of the 16th century, a hint that despite her advanced age, the lady still wants to remain fashionable. The hat is complemented by a neckline, from which the old lady's faded charms peek out. So the person clearly wants to draw attention to herself, which always looks ridiculous.
The portrait is considered an artist's fantasy. However, there is an assumption that the heroine still had a prototype. This is Countess Marguerite, who in 1335-1365 years ruled the independent Tyrolean county. However, there are no images of Marguerite. Contemporaries called her either beautiful or ugly, so there is no unequivocal opinion.

"Infinity"
Sculpture by contemporary artist Anthony James from the Portals series, consists of titanium, glass and LED lights.
I note that all other series of James' work is typical, where the "concept" prevails over both the content and its artistic execution.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that this work, as well as the entire Portals series, was inspired by Plato's Dialogues, primarily the dialog Timaeus

Johnson Tsang is a sculptor from Hong Kong
He makes his sculptures from clay or stainless steel. His works are not only a demonstration of the plastic properties of the material, but also a vivid example of the author's immense talent and imagination!
The artist does not put the production of his sculptures "on a stream", so any of his work, offered for sale, becomes an object of hunt for private collectors.

“Two Mothers. Adopted and Native Mother”
Vladimir Makovsky, 1905
The artist took the subject for the painting from real life. According to the artist, this case occurred in the family of his acquaintance. A childless intellectual couple adopted a boy, however, five years later his birth mother came to them and began to claim her rights to the child. The picture shows very well how the happiness of several people can be destroyed in one minute.
The adopted boy clearly did not know that he was adopted. Makovsky depicted him frightened and perplexed. The child considers his parents to be his own and cannot understand why a strange aunt wants to take him away. He clings to the one who raised him, his real, though not biological, mother.

Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn has created an impressive sculpture to draw attention to the issue of global warming. Installed outside the Hotel Ca`Sagredo, the eight-meter arms rise out of the water and support the wall of the building.
The hands, according to the artist's idea, symbolize the two sides of man - the creative and the destructive - and the sculpture is designed to evoke both hope and fear!

My bed
British artist Tracey Emin exhibited her bed, in which she spent several depressive days. During them she had intimate relationships with people she didn't know, didn't eat and drank only alcohol.
The art object is as frank as possible: used condoms, yellow stains on the bedding, filled ashtrays.
So far, the success of the installation, which sold for 4.3 million dollars, has angered artists and viewers, who complain that everyone can display their bed. To which Emin replies: “But they didn't!”

"The Conclusion"
Alexandra Buchkuri, 1936.
A husband who suspected his wife of infidelity tied her naked to a harnessed horse and drove her around the village, whipping her with a whip. The locals also participated in this process, laughing at the unfortunate woman, calling her names and pelting her with stones and sticks. The saddest thing about this situation is that the woman being bullied could have been innocent. She could have been lied to by envious people or other ill-wishers, someone could have misunderstood something, or maybe the husband himself wanted to get rid of his unwanted wife in this way.
