firecatYour result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Simple, Progressive, and Sensual
27 Ukiyo-e, 12 Islamic, 0 Impressionist, -18 Cubist, -27 Abstract and 10 Renaissance!
Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries. it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure. Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.
People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.

That sounds pretty much like what you say about yourself.
I liked a lot of the art in the test, but I answered strictly on the basis of what I would like to see on my own wall for years at a time. You won't be surprised to learn that this meant I usually picked an animal picture if there was one.

Not surprised at all. Did you see the Japanese Bobtail cat? I thought about choosing that one, just because of that cat, but there was another picture in that same group that I liked a bit better.
I also answered on the basis of what I would want to see in my living space, although I didn't think of that consciously. But that's generally what I mean by "I like this art". There's lots of art that I find interesting, or that I appreciate for the technique or creativity or emotional impact, but that I might not want to have in my face all the time, and I probably wouldn't include those types of paintings in the category of "art I like".

Date: 26 Oct 2008 02:31 am (UTC)Your categorizing of "art you like" makes sense. There is some art I really enjoy looking at in a museum but I would not want in my house because it is too creepy. A lot of the art in that test was like that.
