"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.

"Heads of Torture Victims"
Theodore Géricault, 1814

"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.
