<a href="https://esao.net/">Esao Andrews</a> is an American painter, working with oil on wood panels. His work blends Gothic grotesque, erotic and surrealism. On the subject of the diversity of his work, Andrews states that he is constantly looking for new subject matter as he does not want to become known for one subject. Andrews also stated when asked about 'good vs evil' in his work that he thinks more along the lines of dominant versus subordinate; that he is attempting to catch a moment of mystery or deviousness in his work.<br />

<i>I'm afraid of becoming labelled. I'm young and I'm early in my career, but things have been picking up, and I've become obsessed with this issue. Like, I don't want to be known as one of those people that paints wide-eyed girls. I've been trying to diversify my subject matter and not necessarily always include funny elements like I usually do.</i><br />

Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 – 1988) was an American artist. He first achieved notoriety as part of SAMO, an informal graffiti duo who wrote enigmatic epigrams in the cultural hotbed of the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the late 1970s where the hip hop, post-punk, and street art movements had coalesced. Basquiat's art focused on "suggestive dichotomies", such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. He appropriated poetry, drawing, and painting, and married text and image, abstraction, figuration, and historical information mixed with contemporary critique. Basquiat used social commentary in his paintings as a "springboard to deeper truths about the individual", as well as attacks on power structures and systems of racism, while his poetics were acutely political and direct in their criticism of colonialism and support for class struggle. <br />

<br />
Basquiat went from being homeless and unemployed to selling a single painting for up to $25,000 in just a matter of several years. In 1976, Basquiat and friend Al Diaz began spray painting graffiti on buildings in Lower Manhattan, working under the pseudonym SAMO. In 1979 Basquiat formed the noise rock band Gray. In 1980, Basquiat starred in O'Brien's independent film Downtown 81. The same year, Basquiat met Andy Warhol at a restaurant. Basquiat presented to Warhol samples of his work, and Warhol was stunned by Basquiat's genius and allure. The two artists later collaborated. Downtown 81 featured some of Gray's recordings on its soundtrack. Basquiat also appeared in the 1981 Blondie music video "Rapture". He had an affair with Madonna in 1982 and worked briefly with David Bowie. He died of a heroin overdose at his art studio at age 27.<br />

Mark Bryan is an American painter. Bryan's work travels in two distinct directions. Satirical works of social, political and religious comment and works which take an inward track to the imagination and subconscious. Humor and parody play a large role in many of his paintings. Style elements and influences in his work include classical painting, illustration, Romanticism, Surrealism and Pop Surrealism. In his work, Bryan confronts the dark side of human behavior with humor, whimsy and satire. Sarah Linn states, "A prolific painter whose work has been exhibited across California and the United States, Bryan enjoys pairing beautiful imagery with ugly subject matter, creating satirical oil paintings rife with religious and political overtones. But while his works often court controversy, they also exhibit a sly, sardonic sense of humor". Visit his <a href="http://www.artofmarkbryan.com/">SITE</a> for more of his work.<br />

Franz Fiedler (17 February 1885 in Prostějov, Austria-Hungary – 5 February 1956 in Dresden, GDR) was a photographer. A series of erotic photos with a skeleton seem to mock the medieval classic motif of Death and the maiden<br />

Jeremy Hush is an American artist based in Philadelphia, PA. His imagery focuses on the link between humanity and nature with a particular attention to the psychological aspects of this interaction. He has been creating illustrations for the punk and heavy metal music scenes for many years. With his love for animals and attraction to storytelling, Hush’s work evinces a wonderful balance of masculine and feminine, his dark aesthetics setting off gentle linework and shading. His works are heavy with symbolism, but the meanings behind his symbols are personal. Hush’s most well-known cover to date is for metal band US Christmas’s Run Thick in the Night album, which is bringing him lots of new international attention. Hush is heavily influenced by Arthur Rackham and other 19th century illustrations. The mysteries of nature and his fondness for animals also have a considerable amount of influence over the subjects of his art. His spidery drawings are dark and mysterious, but, like Rackham’s drawings, evoke the fear, love and awe one might have for nature and her power. One never knows what she’ll pull on you next, yet she is beautiful and sublime.

Felix Nussbaum (1904 – 1944) was a German-Jewish surrealist painter. Nussbaum’s artwork gives a rare glimpse into the essence of one individual among the victims of the Holocaust. Nussbaum was born in Osnabrück, Germany, as the son of Rahel and Philipp Nussbaum. Philipp was a World War I veteran and German patriot before the rise of the Nazis. He was an amateur painter when he was younger, but was forced to pursue other means of work for financial reasons. He therefore encouraged his son’s artwork passionately.<br />

Nussbaum was a lifelong student, beginning his formal studies in 1920 in Hamburg and Berlin, and continuing as long as the contemporary political situation allowed him. In 1933, Nussbaum was studying under a scholarship in Rome at the Berlin Academy of the Arts when the Nazis gained control of Germany. Adolf Hitler sent his Minister of Propaganda to Rome in April to explain to the artist elites how a Nazi artist was to develop, which entailed promoting heroism and the Aryan race. Nussbaum realised at this point that, as a Jew, he could not remain at the academy. </div>

The next decade of Nussbaum's life was characterised by fear, which is reflected in his artwork. In 1934 he took Felka Platek, a painter whom he had met while studying in Berlin and would later marry during their exile in Brussels in 1937, to meet his parents in Switzerland. Felix's parents eventually grew homesick for Germany and, against his fierce objections, they returned. This was the last time Felix would see his mother and father — the source of his spiritual and financial support. Felix and Felka would spend the next ten years in exile, mostly in Belgium, a period of emotional and artistic isolation for him but also one of the most artistically productive in his life.<br />

After Nazi Germany attacked Belgium in 1940, Nussbaum was arrested by Belgian police as a "hostile alien" German, and was subsequently taken to the Saint-Cyprien camp in France. The desperate circumstances in the camp influenced his pictures of that time. He eventually signed a request to the French camp authorities to be returned to Germany. On the train ride from Saint Cyprien to Germany, he managed to escape and rendezvous with Felka in Brussels, and they began a life in hiding. Without residency papers, Nussbaum had no way of earning an income, but friends provided him with shelter and art supplies so that he could continue his craft. The darkness of the next four years of his life can be seen in the expression of his artwork from that period.<br />

</tbody></table>
1944 was the year in which the plans of Nazi Germany had the greatest impact on the Nussbaum family. Philipp and Rahel Nussbaum were killed at Auschwitz in February. In July, Nussbaum and his wife were found hiding in an attic by German armed forces. They were arrested, sent to the Mechelen transit camp and given the numbers XXVI/284 and XXVI/285. On August 2 they arrived at Auschwitz, and a week later Felix was murdered at the age of 39. On September 3, Nussbaum’s brother was sent to Auschwitz, and on September 6 his sister-in-law and niece were also murdered there. In December, his brother – the last of the family – died from exhaustion in the camp at Stutthof. Within one year, the entire Nussbaum family had been murdered.</div>

Georges Henri Rouault (1871 – 1958) was a French painter, draughtsman, and printer, whose work is often associated with Fauvism and Expressionism. The series of prints known as the Miserere was commissioned by the Parisian dealer Ambrose Vollard, who after 1916 functioned as the artist's sole agent and employer. More than any other of his print series and illustrations, the Miserere folio conveys the artist's spiritual legacy of faith. The theme of human suffering that connects each single image in the portfolio relates closely to the artist's own spiritual outlook. It simultaneously provides an indictment of the spiritual crisis of Rouault's France, which found it's inception in an age marked by Nietzsche's nihilism, and culminated in a staunchly anti-clerical Republican government and the horrors of World War I. Rouault's work does not aim at criticizing social conditions or at evoking pity, but invites the spectator to join in sharing all aspects of human suffering in order to find salvation and purification.

Dave Lebow is a contemporary American painter. We read in his <a href="http://davelebow.com/">SITE</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>Dave Lebow is old school. He’s got a wickedly contemporary retro style that recalls the pulp magazines of long ago. It’s not difficult to picture Dave’s paintings accompanying the words of H.P. Lovecraft or Robert E. Howard, and his pieces are sought by collectors who grew up reading those authors and collecting art connected to them.</i><br />

</tbody></table>
Leonor Fini (1907 – 1996) was an Argentine surrealist painter, designer, illustrator, and author. Many of her paintings featured women in positions of power; an example of this is the painting La Bout du Monde where a female figure is submerged in water up to her breasts with human and animal skulls surrounding her. Madonna used the imagery in her video, "Bedtime Story" in 2006. She illustrated many works by the great authors and poets, including Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire and Shakespeare, as well as texts by new writers. She is, perhaps, best known for her graphic illustrations for Histoire d'O.<br />

Venereal diseases always used as a pragmatic proof in order to enstablish an anti-hedonic sexual morality to Youth and controlled monogamic relations. But the majority of official warnings had to do with protection of males, especially soldiers, so nearly all related posters and propaganda refered to "creepy" and insidious female prostitutes who are going to spread dissease and death to those men who let themselves surrender to their lust. No care about women erotic needs, the "good" girls were virgins till their marriage under the strict protection of familly and fathers and brothers, and the others "dirty" girls were left to their fates. Even Salvador Dali was ordered to draw a poster with such a sexist theme, but I dare say that it is very artistic. I present some of the most creepy sexist posters and one that is so rediculously funny and representative of the "insidious and evil woman"<br />

<i>Towers of Silence: Zoroastrian Architectures for the Ritual of Death </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i> Zoroastrianism traditionally conceives death as a temporary triumph of evil over good: rushing into the body, the corpse demon contaminates everything it comes in contact with. The flesh of a dead body being so unclean it can pollute everything, a set of rules had to be created in order to dispose of the corpse as safely as possible: as the natural elements of earth, air and water are sacred, the corpses were not to be thrown upon the water or interred. Cremation was also forbidden, as fire is the direct -purest- emanation of the divinity. Hence a complex ritual was developed, in which the corpses would be eventually exposed to birds of prey and thus devoured, in a final act of charity. After death every division of class and wealth disappeared, for all deceased would be treated equally.</i><br />

<br />
<i>A proper architectural typology was invented solely for the purpose of burial’s ritual: transported in the desert by nasellars (traditional zoroastrian pallbearers), the bodies of the deceased were then carted onto sandstone, forbidding hills, to be eventually disposed on cilindrical constructions called Towers of Silence. A Tower of Silence, or Dakhmeh, is a structure laying on the top of a hill, consisting of concentric slabs surrounding a central pit. The bodies were arranged onto four concentric rings: men, outermost, than women and children. Despite the fact the the birds of prey needed less than an hour to leave nothing but bones, the remains of the dead were left bleaching on the upper circles no less than a year before the nasellars could come and push the skeletons onto the underlying ossuary pit. Running through sand and coal filters, the disintegrated bones were eventually washed away in the sea. </i><br />

<br />
<i>A guardian traditionnaly lived near the Tower of Silence, and was the sole person allowed to handle the ceremonial procedures, while relatives of the deceased stayed in a house below, and were forbidden to enter. </i><br />

<i>Iranian Zoroastrian discontinued this ceremony, and the Dakhmeh were banned in the 70′s; conversely, Parsi modern-day Zoroastrians in Mumbai and Karachi still mantains the tradition of burial by exposure, through the use of their own Towers of Silence.</i><br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2nyrReaL3wk/VnwTSfdxqMI/AAAAAAAAKJA/lnH_81IUFwY/s1600/display_image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2nyrReaL3wk/VnwTSfdxqMI/AAAAAAAAKJA/lnH_81IUFwY/s320/display_image.jpg" width="259" /></a></div>
<br />
Soutine’s repeated use of animal carcasses as the subject matter for still life paintings likely stems from his complex relationship with food and his adoration of the work of Rembrandt. During his repeated visits to the Louvre, Soutine pondered the old master’s Slaughtered Ox, which bears a strong resemblance to Carcas of Beef<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KxUjp6r_2yE/VnwTRlzsYyI/AAAAAAAAKI4/0eetOK4ayyE/s1600/large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KxUjp6r_2yE/VnwTRlzsYyI/AAAAAAAAKI4/0eetOK4ayyE/s320/large.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
<br />
According to an often-recounted story, young Soutine was beaten and was isolated in a butcher’s fridge for punishment after presenting a portrait to a rabbi. The suffering he experienced within the Jewish ghetto of his youth is believed to have worked its way into his later canvases. Unlike Rembrandt, Soutine isolated the subject and employed an unusual method in the creation of this still life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iUb058Y3Eu4/VnwTS6OeBsI/AAAAAAAAKJE/3DH7yhfHgAA/s1600/soutine2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iUb058Y3Eu4/VnwTS6OeBsI/AAAAAAAAKJE/3DH7yhfHgAA/s320/soutine2.jpg" width="195" /></a></div>
<br />
After hanging the side of beef bought at a Parisian slaughterhouse in his studio, he had his assistant fetch a bucket of fresh cow’s blood every few days and, while painting this work, Soutine would repeatedly pour blood over the carcass to ensure it maintained the bright color of freshly cut beef. Meanwhile, his assistant fanned away flies and neighbors complained to the police about the smell, even causing health inspectors to almost cart the beef away. Luckily his assistant intervened, as Soutine was far too engrossed in painting, and the artist was allowed to finish what is largely regarded as his masterpiece.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QqMzbVZ6PI4/VnwTTroJnVI/AAAAAAAAKJQ/yy4SM9546Zs/s1600/tumblr_m05m8s4kIm1qb9yj1o1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QqMzbVZ6PI4/VnwTTroJnVI/AAAAAAAAKJQ/yy4SM9546Zs/s320/tumblr_m05m8s4kIm1qb9yj1o1_1280.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<br />
There’s a story that Marc Chagall saw the blood from the carcass leak out onto the corridor outside Soutine’s room, and rushed out screaming, "Someone has killed Soutine". Soutine painted 10 works in this series, which have since become his most well-known.<br />

He has worked on a number of feature films as a concept designer and sculptor, including The Brothers Grimm directed by Terry Gilliam and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy directed by Garth Jennings. Fenton's intricate drawings can be found in art galleries, corporate and private collections around the world. Fenton became internationally-known through his first large scale drawing rendered in graphite, acrylics, gouache, and ink, called Solitude. Completed in 2011, Solitude took over 10 months to produce, with its size being approximately 8 feet wide and 5.5 feet high.<br />

Fenton's art work is influenced by many of the early surrealists. Embracing the grotesque by his employment of Hieronymus Bosch-like figures that are gangly, writhing and cramped, Fenton also uses motifs that suggest Eastern philosophy and Middle Eastern architecture whilst maintaining a feel for European Baroque and Rococo with complex frame ornamentation and plant-like details. A common theme in all his works which recurs again and again is that of death and the fear of death. The fanciful and even freakish nature of his images seem to spring from the need to distance himself from the fear while at the same time acknowledging it.<br />

Κusozu, Japanese watercolor paintings that graphically depict human decomposition, which were popular between the 13th and 19th centuries; <a href="http://metalonmetalblog.blogspot.gr/2013/03/kobayashi-eitaku-body-of-courtesan-in.html">Body of a Courtesan in Nine Stages</a> is another series in this genre featured previously on this site.<br />
<br />
According to the Wellcome Collection, Kusozu: the death of a noble lady and the decay of her body was painted some time in the 18th century. The below scenes include: (1) the woman’s impending death and her preparation for it; (2) the noble woman has just passed away and her loved ones are seated around her; (3) slight skin discoloration (maybe some liver mortis) and a bit of bloating of during early decomposition; (4) the onset of putrefaction with bloating and marbling; (5) advanced decomposition as seen by pervasive marbling, leakage of purge fluid from the mouth, and the abdominal cavity has burst open (6) caving of abdominal cavity and scavenging animals; (7) start of skeletonization and the disappearance of soft tissue; (8) complete skeletonization and scattering of remains; (9) finally human remains have been completely scattered or consumed by unseen animals so all that remains is a memorial for the deceased woman.<br />

John Kenn Mortensen (Don Kenn) is A Danish artist who draws monsters on Post-It notes. We read in <a href="http://www.demilked.com/creepy-childhood-monsters-sticky-notes-don-kenn/">demilked.com</a>:<br />
<br />
<i>He writes and directs television shows for kids, but during his free time he pays tribute to the darker, spookier side of childhood filled with monsters and ghosts. Ugly, terrifying and bone-chilling monsters creep out of the darkest childhood nightmares and right into Kenn’s sticky notes. That’s right – the artist draws his highly imaginative little scenarios, where kids meet ghastly monsters, entirely on yellow post-its.</i><br />
