"The Point of the Case"
René Magritte, 1928.
The painting 'The Essence of the Case' proved to be deeply personal for René Magritte. His mother Regina suffered from depression and had made several suicide attempts. Her husband Leopold, fearing for her life, locked her in her bedroom. However, she managed to escape and her body was found in the Sambre River.

"Relativity"
Mauritz Escher, 1953.
To the untrained viewer, this work may cause perplexity: at first glance at the picture, staircases that look quite ordinary catch the eye. However, if you look closely and see where they lead, it becomes clear that Maurits Escher gave the title Relativity to this work for a reason. His lithograph is a visual confirmation of the relativity of human perception and the laws of geometry and physics.

"Boy with a drawin."
Giovanni Caroto, year unknown
The painting made an important contribution to the development of modern neuroscience. In 1964, the British doctor Harry Angelman came to the museum. He worked with children with different pathologies. They had something in common. And it was in front of this portrait that Angelman was struck: a strange smile - as in the portrait - and sharp, uncoordinated movements - like a marionette puppet. The syndrome described by Angelman was soon named after him. A few decades later, it was discovered that the problem lies in the fifteenth chromosome.

"Diego and Me"
Frida Kahlo, 1949.
After her marriage to the painter Diego Rivera, Kahlo experimented with a variety of influences, from Aztec mythology to medicine.

"Ballerina in Death's Head"
Salvador Dalí, 1939.
"Ballerina in Death's Head" ("Ballerina in the Skull") is one of the most famous examples of the "paranoid-critical method" that the artist developed in the early 1930s. The aspect of paranoia that interested Dalí was the brain's ability to connect things that are rationally unrelated.

"Death of Casagemas"
Pablo Picasso, 1901.
The young Catalan artist Carlos Casagemas was Pablo Picasso's closest friend. It was he who became Picasso's companion on his first trip to Paris. But if for Picasso this trip was the first tiny step towards future fame, for Casagemas it was the beginning of the end.
In Paris, Carlos fell passionately in love with a young model named Germaine. These feelings were not reciprocated, Casagemas fell into a deep depression and began to talk frequently about suicide.

"The Fermi Paradox"
Nenad Gojkovic, 2023
The work is inspired by a little-known, hardly discussed or considered hypothesis of highly ethical aliens concerning the Fermi paradox. White beings are a highly evolved race of aliens whose primary activity is to search the universe for biospheres and instantly destroy them out of compassion.

"Anti-Laocoon"
Ernst Fuchs, 1965.
Fuchs's images are grotesque. The objectivity of depicting even the simplest object is not about him. Many things are exaggerated and deformed, but not everything. As if to counterbalance the numerous deformations and even ugliness in many works, images with the same emphasized classical beauty are introduced. Although there is a certain morbidity in them, they are always "on the edge"

"Sabotage of Inmendham"
Nenad Gojkovic, 2023.
The painting depicts an anti-natalist subject. An unborn child is given a cassette tape by Inmendham (one of today's antinatalist philosophers), on which are recorded horrifying events that will come true in his life. Because of this, the child decides not to be born, causing the DNA to go crazy, much to Inmendham's delight.
