I used to live very close to several Banksy pieces in his hometown in the UK
This one was visible on my walk to work every morning, although it hadn’t been vandalised with the blue paint at the time

“Stańczyk” by Jan Matejko:
For those who don’t know - Stańczyk was the alleged jester on Polish court at the beginning of 16th century, when Sigismund I the Old was in power. He was thought to be an intelligent man using humour to comment on Polish past, present and future.
Here in the picture, we can see him contemplating on the loss of Smolensk (hence the full name of the painting) while the King’s court is having a ball in the room next door. As the scene has been painted several centuries after the historical background, this piece of art is considered a self-portrait of Matejko, deeply saddened by the fate of his fatherland being split between three powerful countries and without sovereign existence of its own.

Speaking of Banksy, I loved their last touch of perfection on the Girl with Baloon, no sooner than it was sold at auction:

William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience are ilumminated poems: that is, poems created and then illustrated by Blake. I think that the illustrations create an ambience for the text, but I am most attracted by how melodic these poems are, how they can engage both children and adults, and their subject: the strength and beauty present in the natural world, and the suffering of people in an industrialized world.

And one of my favourites:
THE TIGER
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

The Scream (1893)
Edvard Munch’s perhaps most famous painting. “The Scream” is a powerful depiction of existential dread and anxiety. It exists in several versions, including paintings, pastels, and a lithograph. The work has become an iconic symbol of modern existential angst.
Edvard Munch (1863-1944)
Renowned Norwegian painter and printmaker. He is known for his emotionally charged and psychologically intense works. Early traumatic experiences in his life (the loss of his mother at the age of five and his sister lost to tuberculosis when he was 14) would later influence profoundly his art which often explores themes of existential angst, melancholy, and human vulnerability.
Munch’s style
Characteristic of Munch’s style is the expressive use of color and form, often conveying deep psychological and emotional states. His work strives to depict not just the external world but the internal emotional experiences of his subjects. Munch’s approach laid the groundwork for Expressionism, a movement that sought to express the emotional experience rather than physical reality.

Nighthawks (1942): This painting is perhaps Edward Hopper’s most recognized work, depicting a diner at night with customers who appear isolated despite being in close proximity, viewed through the diner’s large glass window. The composition and lighting create a sense of emotional distance, encapsulating themes of alienation, isolation and loneliness in an urban setting.
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) American realist painter and printmaker known for his evocative depictions of solitude and isolation in both urban and rural surroundings.
His style is characterized by a careful composition of form, light and shadow, which evokes emotional responses and invites viewers to engage with the narratives suggested by his subjects.
Hopper’s paintings often reflect themes of loneliness and introspection, capturing the essence of American life during the early to mid-20th century. His focus on the individual experience within the broader context of society has led to Hopper being considered as a major figure in American Realism and an influence on later movements, including Abstract Expressionism.
I like almost every piece of work by Hopper. If you want to see more of his art, please look at:

Here are a few photographies by Brassaï:
Gyula Halász, known by his pseudonym Brassaï, a prominent Hungarian-born French photographer, sculptor, and writer, acclaimed for his evocative portrayal of Parisian nightlife during the early to mid-20th century.
Born on September 9, 1899, in Brassó , Brassaï moved to Paris in 1924, where he initially pursued a career in painting and journalism before embracing photography.
Brassaï’s photographic work is characterized by its dramatic and atmospheric quality, particularly in his iconic collection Paris de Nuit (1933), which captures the city’s nightlife, including its brothels, bars, and street scenes.
He often blends elements of street photography with fine art and his work reflects a deep curiosity about urban life and the human condition.
Brassaï passed away on July 8, 1984, near Nice, France, leaving behind a rich body of work that continues to influence photographers and artists still today.

Worn Out - by Hans Andersen Brendekilde
In 1889, Brendekilde exhibited Worn Out at the World Exhibition in Paris. … Ralph Sonne argues in his book H.A. Brendekilde … that Munch was inspired by Brendekilde … As Brendekilde’s Worn Out with the Screaming Woman was painted four years before Edvard Munch’s Scream, and Munch painted several sketches for Scream immediately after the World Exhibition in Paris. … Ralph Sonne documents in his work that Worn Out is the first painting in modern painting in which a living person screams. … It also seems that Brendekilde inspired … Finland’s national painting: Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s Lemminkäinen’s mother (1897). Brendekilde is an absolutely central visual artist in the depiction of rural life in the 1882 - 1920s.
