That's literally his only good work. And it still kinda falls short

Gonna admit, don't know much about the other black paintings

But what pisses me off is the goddamn 3rd of may painting
It's just so incredibly bad

>>2498411
Goya didn't even paint that.

>>2498322
pretty much
ISIS and their elaborate filming of real horror has raised the bar to a ridiculous extreme
look up ISIS slaughterhouse for a good example, mere art can't compare to the real thing made into an art in and of itself

I can't think of any art before Bosch that really inspires horror or despair.

3rd of May is better if you take it with the 2nd of May. It was meant to be propaganda. But one of the things that made Goya so good was that he deliberately tried to not depict things perfectly, but rather projected his emotions and the nature of the subject onto the paintings. It's especially noticeable in his paintings of Fernando VII.

That said, if you don't like the style of the 3rd of May, Goya has some really good prints (he's considered a grand master of aquatint). Interestingly enough, his portrait of the Nude Maja is considered the first Western painting of female pubic hair that wasn't depicted in a bad way.

Three Studies... was '44. Struggling to see how he wouldn't be a modern artist.

Seeing how OP used "still", I suppose he meant contemporary art.

pic related is easily the most horrifying work of art i've ever seen and it'd be considered modern art.
There's something about the faces and poses which is just terrifying, you could almost say that it has demonic/evil energy.

Hopefully, I don't come off as too pretentious : \/ This is a painting by Mark Rothko, part of his last series of paintings (black on gray) before his death, fitting because it is meant to symbolise death. Not necessarily a specific death or death in its particular but death as a concept, in its generality. This is one of the most dread-inspiring paintings I've seen, and the more I look at it the more desolate and empty it looks.

Rothko is absolutely amazing. I got to see some of his paintings in person and they're utterly magnificent.

I'm surprised no one's put up Munch yet.

Because it's so stupid looking.

I assume you mean contemporary art since you say 'still' but also I don't think painting really has the ability to inspire horror and fear since that's not the primary medium in which we view the world.

But yes, what's called 'abject art' which builds on psychoanalytic, anthropological and surrealist ideas inspires horror.
