German expressionism is one of my favourite movements of art. Here I am posing with a few of my books on the subject with the Otto Dix biography being highlighted. German expressionism was prevalent from the end of World War I until the early 1930s. With Hitler gaining power in January 1933, 'modern art' was endangered with many artists being arrested, fleeing the country or put in concentration camps as degenerates. A significant number of art works were either destroyed or ironically, confiscated by high ranking Nazis.
Expressionism Self Portrait.
Dolce 'gentle, I be'st a being tis most swotie,
An old courteous one on thee float of swanaz,
to breathe in embroider'd love eall abonder,
thee vestal leoht in thy blushing eyes,
thy brightness of thee smila conceals not,
thy fond crystal hlǣfdīġe of modest concern,
weeping disposition thy fairest cuore fuels,
dost thy not know'st thee herald andswaru that questions thyself?
a wynce is but a hence in the land of poetry all a flaw'd,
behold the shadow as tis toss's thy expressionist asyde,
bij a golden brush what shalle thine think of next?
a pen, a string,a thing between thy distill'd fingers most moist,
O' foul devouring creature that corrupts thou untrimm;d words ever lost,
thee expressionist thou ignorant terrain thou now treads by thyself,
witheryng beneath thy vapors of thou's breath stretch'd offenc's insults last,
thy trueself is never seen ultimate cost,
lascivious mirros cover'd, vulgar reflections reflect'd,
O' mortal expressionist time travel to thy time everlasting see,
here and there, past and future expressionists never cease to sayl thee seven seas,
hither to thy banquet where swagger with thee beggar is forever conduct'd ballades be,
to seek to embrace thy love that most shallen never meet!
thee expressionist tips thy crescent endear'd hat,
ac bids all a prize of manners that eall should ev'r seek!

" My latest Catholic tribute painting, of Saint John The Evangelist; which I began painting on Saint Faustina's birthday and completed on the Feast of Saint Monica - and share here on Flickr, on the 57th anniversary of my baptism at St John The Evangelist Church in East Dulwich, London UK.
I have been inspired to paint Saint John The Evangelist for months, during which I have been absorbing historic images and reading his Revelations, as written in the New Testament, in Patmos Greece.
I decided to focus on the Apostle's Revelation of Jesus amongst the seven lamp stands and with seven stars in his hand. As ever I depend on prayers...and the 'revelation' of Jesus I truly felt a gentleness and direction to my brush strokes forming his face.
Humbly, every brushstroke I know is guided - but there are those special moments when I feel moments of truly peaceful guidance.
The eagle is often featured with Saint John The Evangelist in historic paintings, as a sign of strength and Grace. It also symbolizes 'the height he rose to in the gospels'.
Saint John The Evangelist is Patron Saint of Love, Friendship, Care-givers and authors.

I've made a painterly and surreal version of one of my photos taken back in July 2019, using both Topaz Studio 2 (Expressionism) and Photoshop Elements 11 (for slight vignetting, re-sizing, etc.).

Sinuoso y vetusto canto,
Beso de nubes y mares
Cálido en tu pulcritud,
Álgido en tu indiferencia.
¡Dulce efluvio pluvial,
Alegre trova de gotas!
Excitada recibe mi alma
Las caricias de cada nota
Caes delicadamente,
Como un susurro en crescendo
¡Llueve ya! ¡El mundo se cubre!
Se despejan los cielos,
Mi corazón se abre
Llueve ya, y el mundo se cubre.

Brick Expressionism developed at the same time as the "New Objectivity" of Bauhaus architecture. The expressionist architects developed a distinctive form or ornamentation, often using rough, angular or pointy elements. They were meant to express the dynamic of the period, its intensity and tension. To me the people who actually built those buildings had a very hard job.
Abstract Expressionism in photography, inspired by well-known abstract artists of the mid-20th Century such as Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Frank Bowling, Gerhardt Richter and orthers.
A new tribute painting of Saint Teresa of Calcutta by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Born in Albania, Mother Teresa (1910-1997) answered an early calling to serve God, joining the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland in order to learn English , with the intention of becoming a missionary.
In 1946 on a train she felt she heard from Jesus, "Come be my Light...I cannot go alone" - and devoting her life to helping the poor, the homeless and the dying in India, she became the Mother to the Poor.
When she had taken her religious vows in 1931 she chose the name Teresa after Saint Teresa of Lisieux - and like many, including Saint Teresa of Lisieux , she had experienced throughout her life, a struggle with faith, even feeling separated from God - a darkness that troubled her and maybe drove her on with her good work.
She had opened her first hospice in 1952 and expressed her wish that a "a beautiful death is for people who lived like animals to die like angels - loved and wanted".
She was proclaimed a Saint in 2016 by Pope Francis ; two miracles of healing of cancer in 1998 and 2008 being attributed to her.
The artist - a Catholic convert since 2011 - created the tribute through the intensive research, photographic references and the prayers that generate all his work.
"Through darkness into light...humbly I hope my painting represents the eternal light that will forever be Mother Teresa's reward in heaven - and I pray for peace and any healing for all who view the image, faith or no faith" - Stephen B. Whatley, London, UK, April 2023.
