Yesterday I felt that the only suitable subject for today’s post could be “Last Judgements in art” or “Depictions of the end of the world”.
However, now I think that it’s better if I share with you paintings which will speak for many people’s feelings of resignation, sadness and d-e-s-p-a-i-r. No captions needed.
Edvard Munch
James Ensor
Marc Chagall
Theo van Doesburg
Vincent van Gogh
Giotto
Albrecht Dürer
Gustave Courbet
