Henry Varnum Poor's mural made for 25Q185 (the NYC Board of Education’s designation for JHS 185, 147-26 25th Drive, Flushing, Queens) is installed near the entrance to the school on the facade, inside a fence. As a result of the Central Park mural at Mt. Sinai Hospital, an architect who designed this school, Ralph Pomerance, invited Poor to make a mural for Edward Bleeker Junior High School.Because of the severely rectilinear pattern of the building Henry broke both the top and bottom boundary lines of his design, so that the mural itself, surrounded by the yellow brick of the wall, varied in height from ten to seven nine-inch-square tiles.

We are in the centre of Albufeira's old town Largo Engenheiro Duarte Pacheco, the city's main square.
On the square is Galeria de Arte Pintor Samora Barros and this is the art gallery mural
, I liked the sign.
The former Power Station building dates from 1926.
In 1988, the building underwent rehabilitation works and was transformed into an Art Gallery.
On its façade, the tiles and exterior motifs stand out, designed by the painter from Albufeira, Samora Barros.
The gallery was named after artist José Ricardo Júdice de Samora Barros, who was born in Albufeira.

One day as I walked along East 72nd Street in Manhattan, I passed a building with four ceramic roundels under the shallow ground floor arches on its facade. The ceramic ornamentation in the archways of the facade was made by the artist/ceramicist Henry Varnum Poor who felt that "since architecture itself is a more or less abstract art, the warmth of some imagery is needed in our buildings."

Artaic’s custom designed mosaic panels are featured prominently at Ristorante Luce, a revitalized New York restaurant, combining traditional mosaic design with a contemporary application. Patrons are greeted in the entry foyer by two eight foot high vibrant floral mosaics, while two equally impressive panels bring a tangible energy to the interior space, with the unique backlit technology making them highly distinctive conversation pieces.
The mosaics display images of traditional floral still life, both in a traditional arrangement and in a more modern representation. Using 3/8” vitreous glass, Artaic used 60,500 tiles to produce the 85 square feet of mosaic imagery. A mixture of translucent and semi-opaque tiles allow for the LED backlight to create an exquisite variable intensity glow as the ambient light wanes.
The exclusive translucent grout from Star Quartz causes the grout lines to take on neighboring tile color, and practically vanish with backlighting.
