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.

homenaje a German Quibus, youtu.be/d0-yWATr3v4
/homage to German Quibus, one of the giants of expressionist art who not only lives in the 21st. century but paints in "It" Unlike, old timers, such as myself who paint as if still living in the 20th.
*this set is inspired by one of the greatest bullfight narrators, writers and poets of the last century,
Maia Wociewska, who's: "the life and death of a brave bull" remains one of the finest literary achievements of all times and serves as inspiration for this set.
".....when grown men cry; the sight of the black bull, bleeding from the many stabs and the man, each giving his best, each living a lifetime during the twenty minutes on the bloodied sand, was a sight that made good, grown men cry" /my translation/
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maia Wojciechowska aka Maia Rodman (August 8, 1927 – June 13, 2002) Maia was born in Warsaw, Poland, spent some time in France and England, and later came to the United States with her parents.[1] In 1965, her book Shadow of a Bull *(1964) won the Newbery Medal. She died of a stroke in Long Branch, New Jersey at age 74

p.s. the above illustration is for her poem: "when grown men cry"
on a note of interest, Maia Wojcziewska, aside from being a brilliant writer, was an accomplished bullfighter, one of the few who ventured into the rings to face the brave bulls with great courage, intelligence and above all her love for all animals which was so evident in her kills. Sure, swift and with love.

*"dog lovers" based on the famous poem by Guillermo Arriaga, a "R" rated Cumbia by Alonso Castro and lately the expressionist trilogy film by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarrittu
Amores Perros is the first movie in Iñárritu's trilogy of death, it is a triptych; an anthology film, containing three distinct stories which are connected by a car accident in Mexico City. Each of the three tales is also a reflection on the cruelty of humans toward animals and each other, showing how they may live dark or even hideous lives. Amores Perros was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2000 and won the Ariel Award for Best Picture from the Mexican Academy of Film. The film Amores Perros gives a clear representation of the division between classes in Latin American society, as we are shown characters from under, working and middle classes. But the film's theme is loyalty, as symbolized by the dog, "man's best friend". Dogs are important to the main characters in each of the three stories, and in each story various forms of human loyalty or disloyalty are shown; disloyalty to a brother by trying to seduce the brother's girl-friend, disloyalty to a wife by keeping a mistress with subsequent disloyalty to the mistress when she is injured and loses her beauty, loss of loyalty to youthful idealism and rediscovered loyalty to a daughter as a hit-man falls from and then attempts to regain grace.
The film was released under its Spanish title in the English-speaking world, although its title was sometimes translated as Love's a Bitch and in Europe as "the dog lovers". The soundtrack included songs by well-known Latin American rock bands, such as Café Tacuba, Control Machete and Bersuit Vergarabat.
The film remains as one of the finest examples of expressionist art of the past century. Some of you may find my attempt to try my humble attempt to link my painting to the two greatest artists of our time an affront, but hey at my age why should I call it abstract if that link has moved me to produce several hundred paintings linked directly to the writings of Guillermo Arriaga.
p.s. on a note of interest, for those not familiar with the film, it is definitely not for the faint of heart for it portrays brutality only humans are capable of. /it comes unrated/ The Cumbia which is beautifully composed and played on accordion, has unfortunately been removed from You Tube.
/no reason given/
*This set is ased on the book originally titled: "cosi imparano a fare" /my interpretation/ /not film/ by the painter, poet and later screenplay writer Mario Bava, the son of Eugenio Bava /noted sculptor/ After many attempts to exhibit his abstract and highly original art without success, running out of money, Mario went to work for his father at his studio in Venice, on a rare visit to his studio, Benito Mussolini saw some of his bloody paintings on the walls, impressed by what he saw, he was offered a position in Mussolini's propaganda film studio where he flourished becoming later what many would describe as the best cameraman and director of the 20th century.
So taken by his "surreal" film which I saw as so many other artists the world over in the 70's that I applied "his effects" on practically all of my paintings of 1970-1971, which I will post at the end of the series.
p.s. on a note of interest, the film was shortly released in the U.S. under the title : "Bay of Blood" but banned for it's brutality from showings, it was recut and re-released on video which was banned as well, until it became a poor version of the original surreal film and classified as a "horror" flick from which practically all formula B horror films are made today.
Here is the link to the trailer for his original film which I found on you-tube:

Hillary Rodham Clinton - What Happened : her newly published book of reflections on the US Election 2016, rests on the easel of expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, with his portrait tribute, painted soon after the first TV Debate.
The book reveals that not only is she a great politician, but a gifted writer - full of conscience, heart & good humour. 'Whatever Happened' is published by Simon & Schuster.
The artist's portrait tribute of Barack Obama was published in TIME in 2008; and this portrait was published in The Guardian newspaper.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in private collections worldwide & other public collections which own his work include the BBC, London Transport Museum, Westminster Cathedral & The Royal Collection of Queen Elizabeth II - while his series of 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London are showcased as a permanent public art exhibit, at the entrance of the Tower of London, just outside Tower Hill Station, in The City of London.

**this set is inspired by the work of the greatest group of artists of the 20th. century, the inventors of "arte macanudo" bellow, photograph of "Latin Americas greatest artists of the 20th, century* from artist's collection of vintage photographs, memorabila
*from left to right: Francisco Narvaez, Cleotilda Crespo de Arvelo, AFRICA Monsalvo, Eleuterio Casado, Lilia Morazzini, Muria Cristina Guinard, Margot Boulton, Berta Singerman, Ernestina Mendez, Angelina Arveto, Elsa Morazzini, Prof. Vicente Pena, Rafael Olveira, Rafael Cayama, Luis Alvarez Marcano, Margot Narvaez, Fernanmdo Paz Castillo, Augusto Marquez Canizales.
In this rare photograph we see all the greatest artists of the twentieth century posing for the last time together at the "Macanudo art exhibit" held at the Athen in Caracas in 1938. In 1939, because of political influences and the start of world war II, they each went their own way, not all faring well.
For those of us who escaped the horrors of world war II, we embraced the art of the "new world" casting aside all that was european. It was not until recently that I have taken interest in the works of the "expressionist's" Since most of my work has always been considered "expressionistic" I went along with it and that is what I call it as well.
"Arte macanudo" goes a step further for it is rooted deeply in the culture and folklore of the country, mixing impressions of outside influences with those affecting the artist's inner most passionate loves and hatreds expressed in a stylistic form.
I am posting this, for I have received several e-mails questioning me why I don't post the macanudo series with english titles, since I am American and live in America. The best way to explain it is simply because my inspiration, my thoughts and notes on my work were written in Spanish, consequently producing the works in a "Juvenile Spanish mind" Were I to paint paintings from my infancy I would best describe them with words such as "goo-goo-gaga- tata-mama and such, which I am told I used to describe events and request needs.
p.s. With this posting i am not pretending that my recent works are and should be considered to be in the category of these larger than life artists, but rather call to the attention where the inspiration comes from.

* from a set of several paintings in progress inspired by a posting by she wolf titled: "the lace behind the door" and a poem titled: "windows to the soul" by Carol Wiebe. In the set i am attempting to depict an artist's rental studio that transforms itself into the soul of the artist hiding nothing. A room where only ghosts are given free reign during nights and where the morning sun chases them away and all becomes strangely tranquil.
"Windows to the soul"
Has the truth been told?
Or have the words been carefully chosen
to match
what others expect to hear?
If we were not afraid,
if we could fling open our doors and windows,
throw away the curtains,
and live transparently.
Carol Wiebe, may 22, 2011

* "The Americans did get me in the end"
I had four trucks and about 370 Liters of petrol in jerry cans. My orders were to take about 200 of "them" to V........, V.........., was 170 Kilometers east and about 50 from the front.
We were all exhausted, provisions were running low, three of my men were wounded, - at this point it was absurd to risk the lives of my men.
We have made enough trips to V......, to know what would happen to our "cargo"
We were three hours behind schedule,- in the distance we could hear the Stalin organ playing the symphony of death and the Katyushas were exploding left and right of us; it was starting to get dark, some yards ahead was a fork in the road-, we came upon an overturned wagon, a dead horse and human body parts that appeared to be of a woman and child,- the Lithuanians were cursing, everyone was on edge.
While clearing the road, Z....., and F........, summoned me to the edge of the road ahead, pointing to a rather steep slope leading to a natural ditch. The ditch was partly covered from view by a hedge grove, the dirt road led to the edge of a forrest.
The thought must have occurred to all of us at the split of a second, and without uttering a word the decision was reached, orders were barked, the trucks with the "cargo" were reversed at the fork, both M.G's were mounted and fed, incredibly everything went so fast and organized as if we rehearsed for it, amazingly we all knew what we had to do instinctively.
Our "cargo" was dismounted from the trucks and herded by the Lithuanians with Z........ in lead, down the slope and to the edge of the natural ditch, Z........, and the Lithuanians moved out of the way, the tarp covering the M.G's was removed and at once they opened up. By now it was getting real dark; after exhausting both belts, to our dismay we could see some of them running in all directions and others crawling out of the ditch. Z......, and the Lithuanians started firing with their rifles and side arms which by the time I joined them were empty, At this point I was shooting blindly at anything that moved almost hitting Z......., by accident.
All I remember of the "incident" was the slow motion of those hit. I just kept pulling the trigger to put the poor bastards out of their misery.
Except for the scream of the exploding Katyushas and the Stalin organ playing for their funeral, or was it ours? we were at peace. After climbing and once again turning our caravan around, this time heading straight for the old Polish border
At K we were attacked by partisans and lost three of our men and one of the wounded from the previous skirmish. After all that we went through, Z........, started blaming me for their death because of my excessive waste of our precious ammunition during the "action" and disposal of our "cargo" He just kept on and on needling me threatening me with court marshal until we came to blows, we would have killed each other were it not for total paralysis of movement due to the clogging of the road by Volksdeutsche, At this sight the Lithuanians panicked, dropping their rifles and joining the mass of refugees, we fired several rounds into the air, but to no avail, for no one paid the slightest attention.
I think that this was the moment that we came to the realization that it was all over and each man was for himself. We took off our tunics and Z......., brought the issue blankets and we cut a hole in them and pulled them over our heads as ponchos, and thus disappeared into the crowds. We got as far as P......, where I was taken into custody by teen aged partisans for not having any papers on me, after being severely beaten I was taken with several Wehrmacht captives to the Americans who were than stationed in Pilsen. from there I was taken tp a detention camp where the Americans and Austrian authorities issued me D.P. papers. After my release I contacted no one and worked construction for sometime until securing passage to P........, I love it here, this is my home, I raised a wonderful family here, for twenty years I earned and supported my family as a mechanic, not once did I break any laws, and you know what I never even got a ticket, my only vice, two packs of Marlboughs a day!
How do I feel about murder, what murder?
In war time you must understand that things just happen; much has happened since the war and we must move on; you have to understand, they were not like us, they were "untermenschen", they were like sheep, I suppose to describe it, it was not so different from what the American cowboys do; rounding up cattle and than taking them to the slaughter house. No, it never bothered me much, war is war and "things" will always happen.
But you know, you could say the Americans did get me in the end, for my cancer has spread and the doctor is giving six month to live.
p.s. this is a shortened version from the original, on an note of interest the subject never mentions murder, as to his victims he refers to them over and over as "cargo" and the actual killing, an action.

The votes are coming in…in the USA the Mid-Term Elections yesterday are revealing that The Democrats have won a record number of seats in the House of Representatives, giving them overall control for the first time in 8 years.
Hillary Clinton who won the popular vote by 3MM votes in 2016 remains a devoted Democrat, encouraging US citizens to get out and vote. Seen here are details from a portrait tribute painted by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley that year. The portrait was published in online Election 2016 news coverage in The Guardian newspaper.
The artist has a great affection for the United States - and his portrait of Barack Obama was published in TIME in 2008.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is showcased through a permanent art exhibit in London: his series of 30 paintings vibrantly charting the history of the Tower of London was commissioned in 2000 - and is reproduced throughout Tower Hill Underpass (outside Tower Hill Station, close to the Tower) - where Americans, amongst them many of his collectors, discover his work.

*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.

**Painting inspired by Teddy Roethke famous poem "The caveman" 1965
when first heard, it was in Spanish recited by Guillermo Carvajal and it was sang, as all good poems should be. "we think by feeling. What is there to know? The poem in english is constructed of lines, rhythms, and the words are sounds. "in dark times" is a field of energy, it has shape, a roof as one over a house or the ceiling of a cave where one can crawl in and feel safe from the outer world and as I hope I have achieved by attempting to paint the "poem"
"In Dark Times"
In a dark time, 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 madness but nobility of souil
At odds with circumstance? The day's on fire!
I know the purity of pure despair,
My shadow pinned against a sweating wall.
That place among the rocks - is it a cave,
Or winding path? The edge is what I have.
A steady storm of e-mails!
A night flowing with birds, a ragged moon.
And in broad day the midnight cones again!
A man goes far to find out whay he is-
Death of the self in a long, tearless night,
All natural shapes blazing unnatural light.
Dark, dark my light, and darker 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 enter itself, and God the mind,
And one is One, free in the tearing wind.
Theodor Roethke, 1965
