"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.

"Nightmare"
Johann Füssli, 1781.
"Nightmare" is a whole series of paintings with the same subject by the artist Füssli. The painting was inspired by stories of sleep paralysis, when a person is both asleep and awake at the same time. A few centuries ago, it was believed that it was evil spirits taking possession of a person. That is why the painting is uncomfortable, tense and eerie.

Portrait of journalist Sylvia von Harden"
Otto Dix, 1926.
Sylvia von Harden was genuinely perplexed by the artist's desire to paint her portrait: "What exactly attracted you so much? My fat legs? Big feet? The sunken eyes? Long arms? Long nose? Thin lips? What exactly do you want to write?" He wanted to write it all. Because Sylvia von Harden was the epitome of the new woman, independent, passionate. Someone who didn't care what she looked like.
