i feel like we don’t talk about things like this enough
Moroccan architecture (specifically, amazigh from Chefchaouen)
Post-colonial Algerian architecture (Algiers and Constantine):
Mozabite architecture (from Ghardaia, Algeria):
these are the people who for 100’s of years have been called savages and primitives, turns out most continents have culture as complex and diverse as europe, if not more
cant forget the Great Zimbabwe, i wish we could see what it looked like in its hayday
I fucking love Sudano-Sahelian architecture.
Also, the rock cut churches from Ethiopia are really cool!

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) “Irises” (1889) Oil on canvas Post-Impressionism Located in the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California, United States
Van Gogh started painting “Irises” within a week of entering a mental hospital, in May 1889, working from the hospital garden. He called painting “the lightning conductor for my illness” because he felt that he could keep himself from going insane by continuing to paint. He considered this painting a study, although Theo, Van Gogh’s brother, thought better of it and quickly submitted it to the annual exhibition of the Société des Artistes Indépendants in September 1889, along with “Starry Night Over the Rhone.” He wrote to Vincent of the exhibition: “[It] strikes the eye from afar. The Irises are a beautiful study full of air and life.”
