All those arts that can make someone think and arouse the feelings that why artists do so? Are named as weird arts. Artists go beyond the norms and create something against ethics and nature.
All artists are unique and have their own views about nature that they express through their artwork. Some artists go against the norms and natural phenomena create something extraordinary that instigate the mind of the observer.
Five most Weird arts
Weird arts instantly grasp attention and motivate others through some extraordinary expressions. The artist actually want to express the bad things in our society, as their are numerous painting in history that are named as weird art here I would like to name five most weird arts:
- Goya’s Saturn devouring his son(1819-1823)
This very art gives me goosebumps, as it presented the hilarious prophecy about the Greek God Saturn that he was told once that he will be killed by one of his children so he killed them to not let them commit the sin. This painting was made by Goya where a man is presented eating a child. This painting is very symbolic as Goya shows reality in the creepiest manner.
- Caravaggio’s Medusa (1597)
We have heard about many fairy tales and are familiar with creatures like witches. Medusa’s character is almost similar to those in fairy tales. She is a woman without hairs but Caravaggio presents snakes on her head as her hair. This painting was made in 1597 and is called the most weird painting because of the very character of women with numerous and is the most attention seeker.
Carravaggio presented a mythical creature who has the power to turn a man into a stone if one looks into her eyes.
- Hans Mimmling’s Hell (1485)
This very painting will grasp your attention as it presents a person in hell because of his sins, those who know Catholicism and have understanding of hell will understand the painting and Hans Mimmling point of view about Hell.
Hans Mimmling has created many paintings that present hell and the punishment one will suffer in hell because of his own sin.
I think it is also a very weird painting that calls for attention.
- Hans Holbein’s The Ambassadors (1533)
Hans Holbein’s The Ambassador is full of symbolism as apparently there is nothing so weird in this painting but when we closely observe it we can see a skull in between the both figures that really give you goosebumps. We can consider it the most weird painting of 1953.Holbein spent most of his life in England. His work became famous because of an awkwardly presented skull
against the painting. This skull was viewed by anyone standing in both directions but not directly from the front of the painting.
- Salvadors Dali’s the face of war(1940)
Peace and war go side by side since the beginning of the world and Salvadors presented the horror of war in his painting where he shows a horrible skull. It is the most weird painting that has symbolic meanings as in this masterpiece he presented skulls within a skull.
These were some horrible yet weird paintings that stimulated viewers’ minds and called attention. Still found in museums calling visitors to listen to their unheard voices. Artist through these arts have expressed their feelings more openly.

Artists are visionary. They see things more clearly than normal people even more than a scientist does. Their paintings show the reality of things and give a clear viewpoint about the facts of time and space. They present reality and even depicts the future through their masterpieces.
Leonardo DI vinci portrays the anatomy of humans in a more realistic way as his drawing of the human spine gives a more clearer view of the human spine that scientists search after him.
It is admitted that Leonardo heart drawings portray hearts most accurately. Heart surgeon Francis Well appreciated his drawing of hearts that according to him are more realistic than those presented in textbooks of anatomy. It was Leonardo who presented the heart with four chambers that were researched after him.
The starry night by Vincent Van Gogh that is displayed in the museum of modern art in new York was made when the artist was admitted in a hospital to cure his mental illness.
He in this painting shows the movement of wind through the stroke of brush in a more symmetrical way.
It is right to say that artists paved the way to investigate the truth behind each phenomena of life. They are visionary people who see the reality of things in a more real way.
Impact of art on human brain
Neuroscience believes that art helps in the growth of the brain. There is a strong connection between creativity and cognitive development.
Children in preschool age are inclined toward arts that prepare them for schooling, those who love creativity have sharp minds and they learn things more easily than those who do not like creativity.
Adults easily socialize if they take interest in creating things, art inventions help to boost confidence and they are more optimistic and show good behaviour.
Artists are sensitive people and are more observant than others; they are more sympathetic and sentimental. They easily understand others point of view so are less quarrelsome.
It is healthy to involve children at early ages in art activities as it helps their brain neurons to function more accurately.
Artists have healthy brains as art gives their brain an outlet to express their good and bad feelings, as “ in every work of art the artist himself is present”- Chrestian Morgenstern.
Art makes the artist happy as they express their anger, frustration, dilemmas through their arts and as a result they feel extreme happiness, and remain no more aggressive.
“Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness”- Annie Albers.
Artists present the true picture of reality as they paint what they feel good or bad, sometimes they create weird arts as they see indifference, injustice and cruelty in the world that they want to change and through their art work they make people realize their faults.
Art has the power to change reality, art has the power to transform. They have courage and strength to go against the norms and are not diplomatic; they express what they observe without a fear of being hanged for creating such a rebellious art.
