Steven Meisel - Water and Oil.

It wouldn't be a usual art post - becouse it's not about painting, but photography. I'm not only interested in painting (but much more than in other kinds of art, that's right) but also I have some examples of perfect and deeply touching photographers. One of them is Steven Meisel, his provocative works are eye-catching.  Thought he mostly works

Those pictures are very expressive.

I quite agree with you) they impress very much.

The photos are quite disturbing. I understand that they have to be if their message is to get across in the right way. And both you and I agree with the message. But there is something that goes beyond saying, 'Don't pollute our planet, our home.' I can't really quite pin down what it is, but I think it is the realism of the photos. Although the models are people, the impression is of animals and birds, creatures caught up in the stupidity of what people do to the world, and then you realise, actually that's a person and it's even more scary and grim.

There is a deep sence of awful helplessness and despair. There is a message about not polluting our planet and being more careful to the environment. But there is also a hidden question - what if it's too late? If it is so, it means a death to all of us. It is very disturbing.
