A little disturbing?

Am I alone in finding these paintings a little disturbing?

I like 'em. Then again, I'm a fan of H.R. Geiger's work too, so my opinion is hardly "mainstream" when it comes to such things.

I like them too.

Of course, I find an isolated location on a cloudy day to be most comforting. When I'm in the UP, I love to explore the ruins of old copper mines (the surface structures) alone. For some reason, I love to be in places that were once busy centers of commerce and industry, but are now abandoned.

One of my favorites, not as obvious, but even more unsettling:

The only things I see are what look like a gallows in the distance and what looks like the shadow of the grim reaper done the row the little girl with the barrel hoop is running...

Disturbing - yes. But thats probably the artists point. And yes, I kind of like them too.

Not the same artists. The one I posted is by De Chirico.

De Chirico is good, so is Max Ernst.
