Apparently I like Cubism

mtbcA few years ago I had mentioned it seeming strange how, to see if a street I was walking past connected with another, my first thought was to summon satellite photographs on my cellphone. Well, I still seem to be living in the future:
Some weeks ago I was in a Michigan resale store tagging along on an expedition to find a small dining table. Offering a variety of goods, those stores delay and distract me with artwork. Not having time to linger, I used my cellphone to photograph the most eye-catching prints as I passed. I have now gotten around to reviewing those images.
My having been disappointed a few years ago by similar-image searching, I now find that Google image search has become impressive. Perhaps they cluster relative wavelet attributes or somesuch. For example, from one of my hasty photographs, with ceiling lights reflecting off the glass in the picture frame, the first hit was correctly Lyonel Feininger's,
Church of the Minorities II (1926)

He seems to have painted other works of a similar nature.
