‘The Butcher’ (1990).   Not every Russian citizen was pleased to see the end of Communism in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics during the 1980s and 1990s. Some, like the artist Geliy Korzhev (1925-2012) thought the changes wrought by perestoika were a betrayal of all the lives sacrificed in order...

I was looking for Bosch-like monster art and found these.

    This is interesting in a sea of works depicting mutants and barely-humanish figures.

    I feel like it says that the artist last feels like they were truly humans during those days, now dead.
