Painting...



John Hultberg (1922 - 2005) was considered an abstract realist. "He made a name for himself with powerful landscapes, fractured into slabs under ominous horizons; multiplicities of bizarre, huddled shapes; and dense, semiabstract urban wastelands with vague human touches."

A few more of his paintings here.

Surrealist...



Hans Bellmer was a surrealist painter and graphic designer, best known for the fragmented and disturbing life-sized female dolls he produced in the mid-1930s to protest the rise to power of the Nazi Party in 1933.
Check out more dolls and prints on this page and some wild dolls here [beware popups].
He did a lot of cool erotic prints and drawings for over five decades.
This long essay describes his technique. Some more info is here.
