Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was one of the most famous Expressionist Norwegian painters. His style, known as symbolism, which mainly focused on life, love, anxiety, and loneliness played a significant role in the late 20th-century art, especially in German expressionism. The dark color and somber tones, the exaggerated forms, and the contrasting lines in his designs portrayed his psychological state. His most iconic artwork, The Scream (1893), which depicts the agonized face and radical expressions, symbolizes anxiety, one of human's most common psychological conditions.

as per Bartou Ferreira's poem "comendou fruta agena"
the above rendering is the first of a new series inspired by the poetry of this great composer and poet who's work I have recently rediscovered in my vast collection of junk, memorabilia and other "stuff' of my youth.
have not been able to find any of his poetry on you tube but will try to translate on my net set.
found this cumbia from the early 90's by Bonga; youtu.be/mCCd54kZUEE
*In 1931, Garcia Lorca describes "cante jondo" thus:
The "cante jondo" approaches the rhythm of the birds and the natural music of the black poplar and the waves; it is simple in oldness and style. It is also a rare example of primitive song, the oldest of all Europe, where the ruins of history, the lyrical fragment eaten by the sand, appear live like the first morning of its life. The illustrious Falla, who studied the question attentively, affirms that the gypsy "siguiriya" is the song type of the group "cante jondo" and declares that it is the only song on our continent that has been conserved in its pure form, because of its composition and its style and the qualities it has in itself, the primitive songs of the oriental people.

*in this sketch I am attempting to capture a split second impression of a model being gifted a pair of "over knees" boots hand made by the king of boot makers, Manuel "Manolo" Blahnik Rodriguez better known as "Blahnik"
p.s. whom I met at a fashion show while working for Neiman Marcus
Manolo's father was from my home town Prague and his mother is Spanish
on a note of interest, Princess Diana owned a pair of his boots and I understand that Ismelda Marcos ownes several dozen pairs of his shoes.
Funny the stuff we remember in old age and forget the important stuff.
** best seen on black!
*one of my earliest paintings posted as per request.
*"rose cottage" and "rainbow's end" are slang terms used in other countries referring to a morgue.
During the 50th, we experienced several minor revolutions started in the interior of the countries, never reaching the capital ; most were quickly repressed by the military who quickly dispatched those responsible with blows of the machete.
Relatives of the deceased were than told to pick up their dead at the local morgue where their body parts were laid out on white painted tables. The trouble was that many parts did not match up and the grizzly task fell on the relatives to try to match the parts to their loved ones.
The above painting is from a set of three shown at the Tivoli Gallery in Panama city; it was selected by a jury of American artists who taught art in the Canal Zone. It was my first juried exhibit; I was 15 years of age.

*.....the original doors and balcony were blown off and will be boarded up with clean plywood. Above the huge American King sized bed is a relatively small shell hole which will be cleaned up and left as is so as to allow the fresh evening breezes to cool the room at night. Contrary to rumors fresh water is available at all hours of the day or night and may be fetched or brought to the room for a nominal fee. A latest model "Porta-Potti" of latest American design is being brought in from across the border and should arrive shortly. Suggest, wire transfer of deposit to reach us within 24 hrs. We are here to serve your every need."
p.s. Have never seen the room, simply drew it as I imagined it; in some ways resembling my own studio in Santa Ana with it's "Vortex" ceiling.
*impressions of characters at Nazi trials; when called on stand, she lost her speech,just sitting there without uttering a word; the accused went free.
from a set titled painting in the dark:
"painting in the dark"
In the dark, the eye begins to see,
I meet my shadow in the deepening shade,
I hear my echo in the echoing wood-
A lord of nature weeping to a tree.
I live between the heron and the wren,
Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.
What's madness but nobility of soul
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!
I know the purity of pure despair.
My shadow pinned against a sweeping wall.
that place among the recks_is it a cave.
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.
A steady storm of correspondences!
A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon,
And in broad day the midnight come again!
A man goes far to find out what he is-
Death of the self in a long, tearless night,
All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.
Dark, dark my light, and drker my desire.
my soul, like some heat-maddened summer fly,
keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?
A fallen man, I climb out of my fear.
The mind enters itself, and God the mind.
And on is One, free in the tearing wind.
Elizabeth Bishop*, 1965
she wrote: "one art" for which she won a Pulitzer prize and which was originally written in Spanish
among hundreds yet to be published in english during her exile while living in Brazil. Bishop remains to this day one of my favorite writers.

*consisting of four sections: #1, "Ambroise, Vougeot les cras, Bruge beer, and nothing accomplished."
p.s. this set is done in the style of french "still life's" sold on sidewalks by "wanna be" artists in the 80's; not my cup of tea nevertheless something I have not done before and worth exploring; curious if any of my flickr friends will like this kind of art.
it is best seen on black.

*Baroness K, after several sketches she requested to have herself painted in "expressionist" style and after Picasso's "blue period" with her ever present Du Maurier cigarette, a favorite of mine as a young man as well.
on a note of interest, it was not unusual in the 70's for rich woman to want their portraits done by "chefs" rather than artists. bringing with hem their own recipes for art.
p.s. at that time, so many years ago did not know that artists had "periods" Thought of them more as woman's things. Funny in a way the stuff one remembers in old age and all the important stuff just fades away!
*/the witch/ mixed media painting inspired by one of the greatest composers of the 20th century: Mauricio Zapata with a original clip of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan youtu.be/5ykzQC2lJ3M
p.s. One of Frida's favorite composers and mine as well.
*last night about two am, got stuck in the "milky way" while listening to "fly me to the moon" about half way there my portable disc player fell to the ground, reaching for it in total darkness, knocked over my disc case spilling all my discs. Since it was dark I fumbled around finding the Kangaroo song instead. Will try once more tonight, someone out there, please untie me!
p.s. done to "Kangaroo tie me down" youtu.be/_D-LmRNdQiQ
*impression of Pablito Cabeza de Hacha going on his knees doing the "Farruca" for a charity performance at the mission Inn in Riverside, California in 1972. For those of you classic guitar fans, have found a link on You Tube: "Rare Flamenco Guitar video: Carlos Montoya-Farruca from a performance in 1980
p.s. whom we have also seen play and met later that year,
my quick impression of the Farruca is best seen on black
*based on the second act in the opera by Jan Nepomuk Neruda where it is said he kissed Karolina Svetla for the first time and their fate was sealed.
Jan Neruda and Karoina Svetla's writings were popular in leftist circles through out Latin America in the sixties and several poets and writers took on their names. The most famous being that of Neftali Ricardo Reyes-Basolito who took the Nobel prize in literature in 1971, and is best known in the United States as "Jan Neruda"
p.s. the above is a "theatric interpretation" as I interpret the image. The kiss series is an ongoing project.
* drawn with with burners which are similar in design to a soldering iron.
p.s. some years ago this technique was called "pokerwork" or Pokker werks" and I believe originated in Holland in the 60's and fell out of favor. Found the old poker in my garage while doing some house cleaning; remarkably it still works!
** the above from last passage of "removal of masque" by Tiburcio Casique" for you, classic poetry aficionados, a modern rendition for your enjoyment so powerfully expressed by Capullo: youtu.be/8EmqtyIEHkY
p.s. I only hope that my humble rendition makes justice to his poem!
Your comments will be most appreciated!
*in this set we, once again explore the ancient art and study of our dreams, their hidden meaning and the art of healing by painting the images as we recollect them.
They have little to do with "art", for anyone can draw them in the most childish of forms. I have chosen to paint mine in the style of "arte macnudo" invented by the great artist Barbaro Rivas and my dear departed friend Isaac Benitez who gave his life exploring the world of dreams in art at a much too early stage of his life; both artists were erroneously labeled "primitive" a insult for they were far ahead of their time.
It was in the late 60's that a false prophet and con man wrote a book on mimd expansion of dreams /altered states/ by the introduction of a "harmless" drug he called L.S.D. This "Guru" by the name of Timothy Leary persuaded millions of young Americans into believing in "mind expansion", to live in a dream world, /state of bliss/ claiming that ones dreams can be "artificially" brought to the forefront by the application by his "harmless" use of his drug.
Millions followed his advise not realizing that the daily dose of this drug was nothing but a temporary fix no different than any other recreational drug, and had nothing to do with learning to understand our dreams and much less to help us to lead more satisfying and fulfilling lives, never leading to the analysis of one's dreams, much less healing
which in reality was only a temporary fix no different than any other "recreational drug or the use of alcohol to excess'
The "harmless" use of this "dream-world state" often called "mind expansion" drug has led to a generation of unfunctioning, sexless beings best described as "Zombies" and exploited in recent films and mass runs.
The better understanding of our dreams can help us to escape from the demons that trap our minds and help us escape from the debilitating brainwash /lavado cerebral/ inbred believe that we may not be worthy of love and happiness on this earth, focusing all ends to the "other world. after our departure. In other words living our lives in perpetual anxiety and punishing us for our daily "sins" Tis malice if not identified through the understanding of our dreams may last a life time depriving us from living our lives to the fullest. depriving us from living our lives of love and happiness on earth
Thanks to the native artists of the Carribean and Central America we learn how anyone can unravel the mystery that surrounds our dreams, what they mean and how we can our potential to that led to the "depicting", drawing and ultimately the understanding of the true meaning behind our dreams.
Words can not describe what goes on in the subconscious, much less offer understanding.
The natives in their "primitive" ways found their ways into the labyrinth of the mind long ago by drawing pictures of what they felt while in their dreamworld. Thus they opened the doors to the "otro mundo quiero comenzar" /another world I will begin" which is brilliantly recited in the famous Cumbia by Alfred Gutierrez*
To understand and to put to practice this ancient process of healing, we need to take the time to record our dreams in the way best suited to us, that is to draw them regardless how silly they may seem at first. This visual imagery drawn from within will help us to open the doors to the unconscious our demons have so long "brainwashed" /lavado cerebral/** us into believing.
For those interested in this in this subject explored in art further I suggest visiting my artist friend Diane Kramer who has explored this subject brilliantly in her: "Rooted in Intuition":

University of Pittsburgh-Bradford 2011
Rooted in intuition exhibit- Diane M Kramer
another artist who has equally succeeded is the filmmaker Ingmar Bergman in his film: "the passion of Anna" in which he and his actors find their own truth.

Every time we confront an empty canvas we begin a new chapter in our lives; every time we turn a page we begin anew; a brain wash to start a new life.
see link to the great philosopher Alfred Gutierez inspirational words set to music in my comment box bellow:
* / "the crazy life of artists" set consists of many paintings and drawings that were commenced on may 9, after moving my studio outdoors. This set is inspired by the "en plein air" artists of Los Angeles who work day and night /mostly at night/ in the barrios of Los Angeles. Their method of painting consists in the use of bright colored enamel spray paints. To imitate their quick spray paint strokes, I am using 1",2',3" house paint brushes taped to broom sticks which allow me fast strokes resembling those achieved with spray cans. The subject matter is drawn from my experiences as an "artist'. Not that of a business man and family man. They are done to taped music favored by our artist friends of the 60's through 80's.
the set is best viewed on black
