What we all have seen many, many times on art canvases, like women and how they suffer or dominate men, as well as opposite situations, is difficult to present to the world in some new light. But people grow spiritually, become more cynical, time dictates its own rules and new motives appear in their work. For example, like David Salle (David Salle).
David Salle (David Salle) is a mid-twentieth century American neo-expressionist and his work is stunning. Not so much an external seeming simplicity, as a truly great meaning that he puts into his paintings. Bright, sometimes even flashy drawings are an attempt to reflect what happened with all the painting of the twentieth century. Oppressed by censorship and social standards, art in all its forms had to hide under the guise of everyday life.
Most of David's works feature women, most often nude, presented as an object. Sometimes, their place is replaced by men, all in the same form. All people in his paintings are depicted fluently, sloppily, but with characteristic features - cramped and ordinary, they seem to want to break free from what is unknown.
All his characters seem to be dead. At the same time bright and faded, devoid of "life colors and juices." By this he is trying to show that the law and the state always restrict the freedom of people in any of its manifestations.

Alexander II is undoubtedly one of the most prominent Russian monarchs. It is difficult to overestimate the significance of the liberal reforms carried out by him, the main of which is the abolition of serfdom. It was for this that the people began to call the autocrat the Liberator. However, the fate of Alexander II is a kind of historical paradox: the ruler, who gave his subjects unprecedented freedom until now, became a "record holder" not only in national, but also in world history in terms of the number of assassination attempts made on him, and of course
