Munch Red & White*
a perfect pictorial delight
An allegory of types of love some say
look&make of what you may
Danr Gabriel Rossetti
sprinkled girls on canvas as confetti
Painting with sensuality
his muses as here* may see
Artist Vittorio Zecchin
the italian klimt paradigm
with alladin wedding scene
also with glass was supreme
John William Waterhouse
His Ophelia* not his spouse
but was Esther an artist in her day
exhibiting also at the R&A
Rodin so expresive
tactile & creative
in The Old Courtesan* en plein air
his 'intense truth' laid ' bare'
Prolific Kasmir Malevich
a diverse talent so very rich
'Resting*'with figuarative guile
a contrast with his abstract style
An Einaudi 'Le Onde'*
Ludovico waves his introspective wand
Czech Frantisch Kupka
begaan his art abstracta
with 'Piano keys* he found fame
creatives in the verticl plane
Swan Lake* by Peter Tchaikovsky for sure
success after initial failure
Charles Maurin with talent to spare
an etching revolutionaire
His composition - allegorique*
best displays an enigmatic technique
Rachmaniov 2nd movement of number 2*
a 'Brief Encounter**' 'emotes' into view
Painter Arthur Hughes
in pre-raphaelite who' who's
'April Love'* a reverse ecphrasis
depicting a love affair in crisis
La Campanelle* by Franz Liszt
paganini with many a twist
Romantically symbolic for sure
Munch's metaphor takes the floor
here in the Dance of Life*
so many are especially rife
A Well tempered clavier* by Sebastian Bach
. motivated in Johann a creative spark
