Four pieces by David Smith in the Royal Academy's courtyard, part of its excellent Abstract Expressionism exhibition. Slightly to my surprise, I found I really liked the Jackson Pollock paintings now.
Paint watered down and put in small dots onto a canvas, then the canvas was spun around until desired "mix" was seen.

City Hall
The term Brick Expressionism (German: Backsteinexpressionismus) describes a specific variant of expressionist architecture that uses bricks, tiles or clinker bricks as the main visible building material. Robert Natus was an Estonian architect. His best known work is the current City Hall of Tallinn, built in 1932

Greece is one of the most beautiful locations I've had the pleasure of visiting. The color of the water is amazing.
Viento ...
Ánima blanca de mis sombras
Director férreo de mis congojas.
A tus manos me confié
Y todo te lo llevaste.
¡Convexo recipiente de mis dichas!
Porque todo a ti te dí
Y con nada yo me quedo
Oscilando trémulo y perdido
En este ocaso carmesí.
¡Nunca más ser un cuervo!
¡Nunca más recibir
De la hoguera que es tu cuerpo
Mi ahora muerta voluntad de vivir !
Viento...
Arrástrame en tu parábola
Hasta extinguir mi silbido.
Desde la niebla me llama, turbio
Un nuevo amanecer prohibido.
Edvard Munch (1863-1944)
Edvard Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway.
Edvard Munch is best known as being a Norwegian born, expressionist painter, and printer. In the late 20th century, he played a great role in German expressionism, and the art form that later followed; namely because of the strong mental anguish that was displayed in many of the pieces that he created.
Edvard Munch was born in Norway in 1863, and was raised in Christiania (known as Oslo today). He was related to famous painters and artists in their own right, Jacob Munch (painter), and Peter Munch (historian). Only a few years after he was born, Edvard Munch's mother died of tuberculosis in 1868, and he was raised by his father. Edvard's father suffered of mental illness, and this played a role in the way he and his siblings were raised. Their father raised them with the fears of deep seated issues, which is part of the reason why the work of Edvard Munch took a deeper tone, and why the artist was known to have so many repressed emotions as he grew up.
In 1885, Edvard Munch traveled to Paris, and was extremely influenced by Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, and followed by the post-impressionism artists Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, and Paul Gauguin. In fact, the main style of Munch's work is post-impressionism, and focused on this style.
From about 1892, to 1908, Munch split most of his time between Paris and Berlin; it was in 1909 that he decided to return to his hometown, and go back to Norway. During this period, much of the work that was created by Edvard Munch depicted his interest in nature, and it was also noted that the tones and colors that he used in these pieces, did add more color, and seemed a bit more cheerful, than most of the previous works he had created in years past. The pessimistic under toning which was quite prominent in much of his earlier works, had faded quite a bit, and it seems he took more of a colorful, playful, and fun tone with the pieces that he was creating, as opposed to the dark and somber style which he tended to work with earlier on during the course of his career. From this period, up to his death, Edvard Munch remained in Norway, and much of his work that was created from this period on, seemed to take on the similar, colorful approach which he had adopted, since returning home in 1909.
A majority of the works which Edvard Munch created, were referred to as the style known as symbolism. This is mainly because of the fact that the the paintings he made focused on the internal view of the objects, as opposed to the exterior, and what the eye could see. Symbolist painters believed that art should reflect an emotion or idea rather than represent the natural world in the objective, quasi-scientific manner embodied by Realism and Impressionism. In painting, Symbolism represents a synthesis of form and feeling, of reality and the artist's inner subjectivity.
Many of Munch's works depict life and death scenes, love and terror, and the feeling of loneliness was often a feeling which viewers would note that his work patterns focused on. These emotions were depicted by the contrasting lines, the darker colors, blocks of color, somber tones, and a concise and exaggerated form, which depicted the darker side of the art which he was designing. Munch is often and rightly compared with Van Gogh, who was one of the first artists to paint what the French artist called "the mysterious centers of the mind." But perhaps a more overreaching influence was Sigmund Freud, a very close contemporary. Freud explained much human behavior by relating it to childhood experiences. Munch saw his mother die of tuberculosis when he was 5, and his sister Sophie die of the same disease when he was 14. Munch gives the By the Death Bed and Death in the Sickroom a universal cast by not specifically depicting what he had witnessed. Several versions of The Sick Child are surely his sister.
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.”- Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch passed away in 1944, in a small town which was just outside of his home town in Oslo. Upon his death, the works which he had created, were not given to family, but they were instead donated to the Norwegian government, and were placed in museums, in shows, and in various local public buildings in Norway. In fact, after his death, more than 1000 paintings which Edvard Munch had created were donated to the government. In addition to the paintings that he had created during the course of his career, all other art forms he created were also donated to the government. A total of 15,400 prints were donated, 4500 drawings and water color art was donated, and six sculptures which Edvard Munch had created, were all turned over to the Oslo government, and were used as display pieces in many locations.
Due to the fact that all of this work which Edvard Munch had created, was donated to the Norwegian government, the country decided to build the Munch Museum of Art. This was done to commemorate his work, his life, and the generosity which he showed, in passing his art work over to the government, so that it could be enjoyed by the general public, rather than be kept locked up by the family. Although the art which he did donate, was spread throughout a number of museums and art exhibits, a majority of them were kept in Oslo. And, most of the works which were donated by Munch, were placed in the Munch Museum of Art, to commemorate the work he did, as well as the unique style, and the distinct movements which he introduced to the world, through the creations which he had crafted.
The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.

Poem:
Upon the Canvas of the Night
In strokes of shadow, bursts of light,
A dreamer paints the soul's flight,
Where fears and hopes in colors bright,
Entwine in dance, dispel the plight.
In depths where silent whispers dwell,
Beneath the conscious, surface swell,
Emotions in rebellion yell,
Yet in the chaos, beauty's spell,
Weaves tales that only art can tell.
A journey through the heart's domain,
Where joy meets sorrow, pleasure, pain,
And through the tempest, calm again,
The canvas holds, in every stain,
The essence of the dreamer's reign.
Within this realm, no boundaries known,
Where seeds of unseen worlds are sown,
Expression's purest form is shown,
And through such art, we're gently thrown
Into realms to us, previously unknown.
Haiku:
Dreams weave through the void,
Colours blend, emotions swirl,
Souls speak without words.

I was trying to take a photograph with some technical manipulation but am lacking the skill set required , thus decided to check which image I can use from my library , The image appears to depict myself sitting in a room designed to mimic Vincent van Gogh's famous painting, "Bedroom in Arles."
Here's how this image demonstrates expressionism:
1. Evoking Emotion Through Context
The room's design and decor are immediately recognizable to those familiar with Van Gogh's work, evoking a sense of nostalgia and a connection to the artist's emotional state.
2. Color and Composition
The colors in the room are vivid and slightly exaggerated, similar to Van Gogh's style. The bold use of colors can evoke a range of emotions, from tranquility to melancholy.
3. Symbolism and Metaphor
The setting itself is symbolic. By placing a modern individual in this historical, artistic context, the photograph creates a bridge between the past and present, highlighting the timeless nature of human experiences and emotions.
4. Abstract Elements
The slightly surreal quality of the room – with its painted walls and floor designed to look like a 2D artwork – adds an abstract, dreamlike element to the photograph. This blurring of reality and art is a hallmark of expressionism.
5. Interaction with the Environment
My presence in the room, wearing modern clothing and a face mask, adds a layer of contemporary relevance. This contrast provoke thoughts about isolation, the passage of time, and the continuing impact of historical art on modern life.
