Art can be different - beautiful and cute, impressive or frightening, touching the soul or turning inside out. But in the world there are several paintings that no collector wants to see in his home. Pictures that are terrifying and take souls …
1. "Hands Resisting Him" (Bill Stoneham)
The picture, created by Bill Stoneham in 1972, at first glance does not look entirely terrible. If you do not know that the depicted girl with a doll face is a guide to THAT world, and do not see the palms on the other side of the glass. And also not to know how many deaths she caused.
2. "The Scream" (Edvard Munch)
This picture is not in vain among the most terrible. All the people who came into contact with her soon fell ill and died.
3. Gallowgate Lard (Ken Curry)
You probably wouldn't want to hang a self-portrait of a famous artist over your bed. After all, seeing him asleep, you can go to the psychiatric hospital for a long time.
4. "Still life from masks" (Emil Nolde)
The painting by Emil Nolde in the style of expressionism rightfully occupies a place in the ranking of the most terrible paintings. They say that if you look at its original for more than 10 minutes, you can go crazy.
5. "Two old men are eating soup" (Francisco Goya)
The plot from the cycle of paintings painted on the walls of the house of Francisco Goya resembles a nightmare. Seeing this canvas really gets creepy.
6. "Severed Heads" (Theodore Gericault)
The mere fact that the picture depicts real heads (the artist copied them from the skulls taken in the morgue) is terrifying.
7. "Crying Boy" (Bruno Amadio)
The plot of this picture is not at all terrible. However, there is something from which many people bypass it. According to popular belief, it causes fires in the room in which it is located.
8. "Water Lilies" (Claude Monet)
The painting "Water Lilies" is a real masterpiece of world art. But wherever it hung, fire broke out everywhere. What is this accident? Coincidence? Or maybe already a pattern?
9. "Venus at the mirror" (Diego Velazquez)
No art lover wants to have such a harmless painting in his collection. Legend has it that if you hang it in your own house, a black streak will immediately begin in the life of the owner.
10. "Rain Woman" (Svetlana Taurus)
The last painting in today's rating is the creation of the hands of the Venetian artist Svetlana Tales. She drew it back in 1996. Was able to sell only a few years later. She would be happy with the sale, but only after 2 weeks the customer returned the canvas back. The reason is the feeling of the presence of someone else in the apartment. The same thing happened with the second and third customers. Now the painting hangs modestly in one of the shops in Venice.
