Types of Art

This wall art is found in the Geisha Sushi Bistro. It is typical of the Japanese art that depicts soft pastels and nature scenes.

I would consider this a type of art, street art. Just simple to do but still making a statement if not bringing a smile to the passing faces.

The above stained glass is in The St. Louis Cathedral. As always, stained glass is simply beautiful. The picture below is the ceiling of the same cathedral. As far as I know it was local artist that completed this awe inspiring work. Worthy of the masters. Very intricate and finely detailed.

This stained glass window is in the Old Ursaline Convent. Stained glass is a type of art that has transcended time and leaves everyone is awe.








DeGualle

In 2014, Brandan Odums and his graffiti crew transformed DeGaulle Manor into a graffiti art exhibit after painting murals of famous civil rights leaders and entertainers such as Tupac Shakur, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammad Ali.^[15] The murals located on 3010 Sandra Drive attracted 3,000 people when Odums opened it as ExhibitBe on November 15^[16] It was described as "the largest single-site street art exhibit in the American South." ExhibitBe closed in January 2015 with an ending concert including musicians David Banner, Erykah Badu, Dead Prez, Dee-1 and a performance by the Edna Karr High School Marching Band. (wikipedia)

The 1960s and 1970s saw the beginnings of the Square as a place of business for New Age and pagan devotees telling fortunes and reading palms and tarot cards. They sit on St. Ann or St. Peter street, alongside of the park.
