The Savage State




The Pastoral State




Consummation




Destruction




Desolation

4. Excellent.
Thanks.
And I'll offer you links to a only-weeks-old website of a sometimes overlooked illustrator Ludek Pesek.

These pages might be keeping in with vibe of this thread

http://www.ludekpesek.ch/noel_cramer_cold_war.php
http://www.ludekpesek.ch/noel_cramer_escape.php
http://www.ludekpesek.ch/noel_cramer_ruin.php

But there's much to explore in this gallery.
enjoy.

PS- Peseks widow, now blind and residing in a retirement home can likely be reached via the contact page.
She loves to hear from admirers of Ludeks work.

3. Le Radeau de la Méduse (Raft of Medusa) by Géricault
One of my favorite paintings, appropriate for these times as well
