neoclassical: stepping into old libraries with pure curiosity, the clicks and clacks of oxford shoes on marble tiles, leather bound notebooks tucked in satchels, sculpting Icarus’s wax wings for flight, a metal sword pointed north

romantic: light glimmering through indigo and ruby stained glass, an organized chaos, silk scarves blowing in the wind, the call for a revolution, roaring waves setting across the ocean, dancing in an empty parking lot

impressionism: rolling green hills, pastel yellow kissing the canvas, a gust of air causing wrinkles in the sky, puff sleeves hugging shoulders, a sigh of relief, the ability to revisit nostalgic memories with a soft touch

“City in Lithuania” (1913), Marianne von Werefkin
