Having a fling and leaving it. The artist's uninvolved gaze of Alexander Makovsky about our everyday reality
He is annoyed that he has to listen to pitiful lamentations, but his conscience probably torments him, and this does not allow him to leave immediately.
Satirical cartoons about the problems of modern society, making you look at some things in a new way.
Well, isn't this cartoon reminiscent of the famous painting “Unequal Marriage” by Vasily Pukiryov. And let the girl married for a great and pure love.....
“At the end he went completely crazy”. Artist Viktor Bobrov, who left his friends and critics with a very ambiguous opinion of himself and his work.
Bobrov easily caught the interest of periodicals to frivolous drawings of girls and nudity and began to stamp such drawings by the dozens from the same sitter, only slightly changing the entourage, pose and title.
Funny and absurd cartoons from the recognized master of his craft Lubomir Kotra
His cartoons were always in demand, as they were witty, original, carried a hidden but easily readable meaning for any poorly educated and shallow person
Funny comics from the producers of Lord of the Rings that made them as famous as the movie.
But you can't call comics primitive and one-cell comics. To understand them, sometimes you need to use abstract thinking, calculate the plot, and simply be aware of the most popular phenomena in mass culture.
Christian Schad's impressive and far from decent portraits in the spirit of magical realism.
Shad's signature style was the indifferent and completely dispassionate faces of the characters in his paintings. After playing with cubism, Shad decided to return to more traditional figurative painting.
“Beggars on the church porch”, ‘Who?’ and ‘Sigida’ paintings by Nikolai Kasatkin with an interesting history.
Due to lack of funds, Kasatkin was unable to continue his education at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Many of Kasatkin's artworks are very literary, and one can imagine a whole story worthy of a short story.
“Movie stars and politicians at home” on Igor Belkovsky's soulful paintings
In the early 90s, when he finished it, it turned out that the socialist realism so diligently cultivated there was no longer needed by anyone.
Heartbreaking drama and simple relationships in Alfred Guillou's memorable paintings

The shameful secret behind Degas's statuette “The Little Dancer”. Why did it cause a great public outcry?
In the 19th century, ballet had its dark side. It was not only an exquisite entertainment for those wishing to join the “high art”, but also an elite brothel. Ballerinas were often recruited from poor families and social underclasses
Dan Piraro's funny and witty comics about the absurdity of our lives
Piraro always tries to be on trend with the latest world events, his comics are topical but not too political
He knew his way around nudes and boxing matches. George Bellows' impressive paintings.
But Bellows still preferred painting to sports. Perhaps he thought that creative development in a person is more important than purely physical, or maybe he just did not want to be a “cog in the team”
The best illustrator of the XIX century. Paul Gustave Doré and his magnificent drawings, which were not always characterized by great modesty.
Doré clearly proved that true talent is often more important than academic education.
Drives people crazy and changes the concept of morality. Two paintings by Leon-Maxime Feivre.
Indeed, revolution drives people crazy and changes all notions of morality.
Sarcastic comics by Moscow artist Anton Gudim about the contradictions of our everyday life.
Drawing comics allowed him to brighten up his everyday life, as at some point he began to categorically lack creativity in his work.
Ironic and a little sad cartoons by Yuri Kosobukin about our life in the 90s

Actual and truthful satirical illustrations by Marco Melgratti, reflecting many phenomena of our lives.
“A drawing created only digitally is dead, the hand of the artist is important too. Sometimes I paint in oil, but unfortunately there is not enough time for all that.”
Exotic oriental beauties in Otto Pilny's impressive paintings.
Oriental exoticism in all its glory: slave traders bring slave girls to two noble Oriental bayas, who sit calmly, with the consciousness of their own superiority, on a carpet and smoke hookah. The slave trader has already undressed one of them in order to show the goods in all their glory....
Epitomized society with her smile. “Blatantly vulgar” portraits of Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, which became a real gloss of the XVIII century.
She dared to challenge the prim and conservative society of the 18th century. She had unmistakably grasped the main secret of success and was booked for posing months in advance.
The best Russian illustrators of children's books and their wonderful drawings that evoke pleasant memories.
In just 40 years of his creative activity, he created a lot of impressive drawings, and the collection of Russian fairy tales with illustrations is successfully reprinted to this day.
