"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. At the height of her technical prowess, she utilizes the tradition of the pectoral self-portrait in Diego and Me, entering into a dialogue with Renaissance masters such as Albrecht Dürer.

"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.

"A Conversation with Death"
Yudel Pan, 1920s
Yudel Pan is one of the key figures of the "Jewish Renaissance". He was the teacher of Marc Chagall and generally educated more than one generation of artists. The terrible story surrounding his death still has no true solution. Yudel Pan was brutally hacked to death with an axe in his home at the age of 82

“Three etudes to the figures at the foot of the crucifixion (second version)”
Francis Bacon, 1988.
In 1945, Francis Bacon silenced the world with “Three Etudes to the Figures at the Foot of the Crucifixion,” one of his most violently frightening and inexplicable works. Bacon himself considered it his first great success; he went to great lengths to collect and destroy everything he had written before it. Nearly half a century later, he returned to where he started - rewriting the Three Etudes in exquisite purple colors.

“Crucifixion. Hypercubic Body”
Salvador Dalí, 1954.
“The Crucifixion” is a stunning work that successfully combines elements of the “nuclear mysticism” that Dalí was into at the time with his appeal to his Catholic heritage. In this work, the artist depicts the crucifixion in the age of modern science, completing his theme begun in “Christ of St. John of the Cross.”

"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.
