Answer 2

There's no end to weird in the world of art.

Ingres draws the rich. The clothes are flat and the faces are round.

17th century Dutch painters did portraits made of realitic-looking fruit.

M.C. Echer draws birds that turn into fish that turn into...

Van Gogh paints a starry sky that swirls like a tornado.

Latrec paints blue-faced dancehall girls.

Late in life, Degas is nearly blind; but he still does gorgeously wild pastels.

Daumier was the first newspaper cartoonist. He distorts the lying politicians into balloon-faced scoundrels.

Picasso. Look at his cubist stuff, or the paper collage, or the sculptures.

The Pointillists used tiny dots of oil paint to create their landscapes.

Rococco painters often had to paint angels looking down from the high, domed ceiling of somebodies palace. (Try painting a really big angel on a curved ceiling.)

Thats a good start.

Answer 3

Haha. I remember seeing some weird art hanging in my college's dorms, library, and classrooms. I think it's because the college mindset/atmosphere can tend towards open-mindedness, liberalism, intellectualism, so ofttimes whoever picks those paintings will go with some that 'think outside the box'. I remember one of the male dorms had a wall dedicated to true pictures/stories of young women who'd been brutally raped and murdered by their dates or random men. I think?? the board was trying to steer men away from date rape and violence toward women. But it just creeped me out and made me wonder if it actually made some men think more about doing those horrific deeds.

You can't get much weirder than HR (Hans Rudi) Giger. He made the drawings for the original Alien movie monster and a lot of other weird stuff.

For old stuff look up Heironymus Bosch, particularly the Garden of Earthly Delights.

After looking up your references, you'd like the photography of Diane Arbus.

Schiele and Kokoscka are kinda strange too, for early 20th century and some of Picasso is pretty strange as well.

Answer 5

Dali and Escher
then there are websites devoted to "tag-art" or graffitti, and there is some really wierd stuff there...ofcourse those folks are a bit out there and they climb the sides of tall buildings to paint their work (some of them, anyway) it's wierd, yet it is very colourful and really quite attractive, and there is a whole artisic discipline to it.

Answer 6

Check out Salvador Dali's work...He was a great surrealist artist! Everytime you look at his paintings you see something you didn't see before.
