"Heads of Torture Victims"
Theodore Géricault, 1814
Géricault set himself the task of reflecting the agony of people undergoing torture as plausibly as possible. To do so, he used an expressive painting technique. Before creating his creation, the French artist spent a lot of time in hospitals and morgues, studying nature.

"A new you could have been born today"
Santiago Caruso
Strange mystical creatures in tense poses, ominous color and gloomy atmosphere - all this speaks of a peculiar interpretation of the Argentine artist of the basic principles of the art direction of surrealism.
Caruso is a worthy successor of Salvador Dali's ideas, but in his experiments with form and composition he went much further.

"The Death of Marat"
Edvard Munch, 1907
In his inimitable manner, the author depicts a nude Charlotte Corday moments after she has brutally stabbed Marat to death. The imposing brushstrokes and abundance of blood add to the frightening effect of the painting.

"Big Bear"
Voligamsi Rinat, 2009
The artist told me that his friends often came to his studio. They would go out to smoke in the dark corridor. The lights of their cigarettes would freeze in the darkness like stars, or they would start to move. These observations led the artist to an unusual series of works.

"A puppet for my niece"
Santiago Caruso
"Marionette" by Caruso is unique in that the master depicts the puppet as a lord of people, and people are in its subordination. In his subsequent works, the master develops this theme.

"A figure with meat"
Francis Bacon, 1954
The meat carcasses hanging from the ceiling are shown from an angle as if the pope were an angel and the two pieces of meat were wings behind his back. Bacon wanted to show that there is only one step from a holy man to a bloodsucker and cruel monster.

"The psychedelic attack of the blue rabbits"
Golosiy Oleg, 1990
The painting became a symbol of an endless and fruitless struggle with himself. Golosiy did not believe in any global changes. In the form of such an attack, he embodied the desperate, always futile desire of people to escape to the light.
