Frederick Sommer is one of the most unusual artist in that he does not convey a direct message with his pictures but a more in-depth message. As one can see above Sommer's image of "The Anatomy of A Chicken" show the organs sprawled out against a canvas with the head detached and placed far away. The message that Sommer is trying to convey in this image is the amount of animal cruelty in the process that a chicken is killed. Also he shows the parts of the chicken that these alleged murderers do not use to feed to the masses. Sommer's work is considered to be morose and not very easy on the stomach but sometimes an artist must go to extremes to establish a certain point or message.
