Sadly, I understand your attraction to this. For me it's the contrast. While the colours are perhaps over saturated, the addition of colour somehow makes this horror come alive and makes it a shocking reality.

Part of the artfulness, is the contrast between what is coloured and what isn't - a conscience choice. The weathered bed and tattered walls provide a strange backdrop and juxtaposition to the body.  The femininity of the pale lilac dress and the long hair introduce an eerie beauty to this nightmare. So does the position of her body. It lies almost peaceful...

The examiners concluded it took the killer more than 2 hours to perform this misery. I imagine she died long before he was done.

Edit: I find also something raw about the wooden bed frame and the dirty mattress. 

You have shitty taste in art.

This is better

You have shitty taste in art.

I do have shitty taste in art (I more or less mentioned it in the first post).

This is better for you because there's sexual attraction for you. For me even though the sexual attraction is not present (for reasons I'll let you deduce) your pic is still interesting because of the contrast between the beauty of the subject, her Venus-De-Milo like state and the fact it's a cadaver.

In my case the 'one lunatic one ice-pick video' would be more appropriate.

@Synthetic: Jack the Ripper was not the first known serial killer. In the modern sense of the world Gilles de Rais is widely believed to be the first but I think there's been serial killers since man has been able to wield a weapon of some sort (or even using bare hands for that matter).

Pictures of dead bodies are boring. With that said though, here are some I find a little interesting. It's called post-mortem photography. These are photos that were taken of dead family members.

This one is the photo of a murdered family:

Those were indeed interesting. They used to do that a lot at the beginning of the 20th century and keep bodies at home too.

I'm sure it's a poor substitute for the real thing. But it's not just about dead bodies though, is it? I mean gore like porn cease to be titillating when you overdo it but for me there's something about vintage gore/crime scene pictures/post-mortem photography I'm probably not eloquent enough to be able to explain it with words.

Like this one taken from this blog:

And then, of course, there's the Black Dahlia, smiling at us eternally through death, and everything it inspired; those are probably the most well known gore pics of all time:

I can appreciate your interest in the handiwork of Jack. I like reading about serial killers and what their respective motives were. Some of them do leave their crime scenes with messages both subtle and obvious and that can be artistic. Be it a real crime scene or horror art, they can certainly have artistic flair even if only appreciated by an equally 'depraved' mind.

I don't know how other people in here feel about that subject I can only talk for me but a lot of 'normal' (for want of a better term) people are at the same time fascinated and repulsed by gruesome scenes (again for want of a better term); I'm just fascinated.

Coincidentally Broken beauty is indeed a good association of words it could describe some of those pics.

Lmao at the second picture, is that for real?

About the OP picture, wow. Jack really fucked up that woman's face, a lot of hatred there. Maybe he was really ugly. Or better yet, an ugly woman.

I must admit that one gave me a good chuckle too, the family posing with a beheaded relative and the ax.

I don't think he was ugly.He had been spotted by witnesses just before/after several victims and every statement they gave to the police were contradictory meaning he was regular-looking enough to blend in his environment.

As for her as I said it's his last known victim so he had really escalated in violence by that time. But you're seeing something interesting there, maybe he was trying to show the world how ugly those women were in his mind through mutilation.

What is difference here than someone gunned down in the street. Would that not be equally as appeasing, if not why?

 You could argue that gore is gore is gore, but there is a difference between a functional killing and one committed for pleasure. There are parallels between modern art and the way some serial killers arrange bodies. Of course, like with regular art, there is the danger of reading more into it than the artist ever intended. But if it is interesting and causes you to think then, to me, that is art, whether it was intended or not.

Pictures are preferable to the real thing, considering how much mess it would make.

Lol at the second picture. Think I've found my new desktop background...
