Tittle:-  Corpse in Barbed Wire from The War (1924).
The picture is painted black and white showing an army skeleton stuck in between barbed wired. And his corpse left behind by his troops. It was the aftermath of battle; dead, dying, rotten, bombed-out landscapes, and graves.











Tittle:- Femmes fatales (1925)                             
  It is a picture of three prostitutes but only two fits that description. The one on the left walks with her nose in the air and a dog in her arm. They are rotten witnesses of a system of unscrupulous exploitation. They were waiting for their customer, mostly the army and that was one of the only way for them to survive
