Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects. Impressionist paintings are balanced, use colored shadows, use pure color, broken brushstrokes, thick paint, and scenes from everyday life or nature.

People that like Impressionist paintings may not alway be what is deemed socially acceptable. They tend to move on their own path without always worrying that it may be offensive to others. They value friendships but because they also value honesty tend to have a few really good friends. They do not, however, like people that are rude and do not appreciate the ideas of others. They are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to the ideas of other people without it affecting their own final decisions. The world for them is not black and white but more in shades of grey and muted colors. They like things to be aestically pleasing, not stark and sharp. There are many ways to view things, and the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences. If they are content in their live they will be more than likely pleased to keep things just the way they are.

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919.

People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer.

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.

People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.

Non-Conformist, Visionary, and Independent

Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of what may appear to others as visual realities. Western had been underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. It allowed the progressive thinking artists to show a different side to the world around them. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a 'new kind of art' which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. Abstract artists created art that was diverse and reflected the social and intellectual turmoil in all areas of Western culture.

People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendancy to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

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.

Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.
People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

I don't think this test effectively tests this. For instance, I actually like a lot of more abstract pieces... I just didn't like those ones :P, except for one and unfortunately I liked one of the other options better. And of course there were some choices where I hated all three and it became a pick your evil kind of activity. But I probably would like Islamic art, or that's my impression so far. But I also would expect to like a higher percentage of Renaissance... I just disliked the overly white naked Europeans in the some of the ones there and it reminded me of tossing ones shit in the street for some reason. I'm not sure if I agree with "what this says about me" either.

Lol....that's why I like Impressionism. I like paintings which give me a calming effect. In addition, they have to correspond with real life very closely so that I can relate to it. That's probably the reason why my scores for Cubism is rather low.

People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye. They rely on their inner thoughts and feelings in dealing with the world around them instead of on what they are told they should think and feel. They feel freed from the tendancy to be bound by traditional thought and experiences. They look more toward their own ideas and experiences than what they are told by their religious upbringing or from scientific evidence. They tend to like to prove theories themselves instead of relying on the insight or ideas of others. They are not bound by common and mundane, but like to travel and have new experiences. They value intelligence, but they also enjoy a challenge. They can be rather argumentative when they are being forced or feel as if they are being forced to conform.

Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.

People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

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.

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.

People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.

Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects. Impressionist paintings are balanced, use colored shadows, use pure color, broken brushstrokes, thick paint, and scenes from everyday life or nature.

People that like Impressionist paintings may not alway be what is deemed socially acceptable. They tend to move on their own path without always worrying that it may be offensive to others. They value friendships but because they also value honesty tend to have a few really good friends. They do not, however, like people that are rude and do not appreciate the ideas of others. They are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to the ideas of other people without it affecting their own final decisions. The world for them is not black and white but more in shades of grey and muted colors. They like things to be aestically pleasing, not stark and sharp. There are many ways to view things, and the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences. If they are content in their live they will be more than likely pleased to keep things just the way they are.

Extroverted, Progressive, and Intelligent

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919.

People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer.

Sadly, I don't like this test. I want to be part of all the aforementioned artistic movements, not just one of them.

My results are in the Delta Lounge thread: http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...tml#post636014

although the results say "Cubist", I'm really into most modern art, starting from Expressionism till today's art.

I didn't choose a lot of 'abstract' paintings, simply because I didn't like most of them, e.g. because I disliked the colors used. Another good example of a painting I wouldn't choose, is the one above. In my opinion, it's not an abstract painting, it's just 'non-figurative' (is that English?) It's 'beautiful', in the negative sense.

9 Abstract, 4 Cubist, 2 Islamic, -6 Ukiyo-e, -13 Impressionist and -14 Renaissance!


Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which exists independently of what may appear to others as visual realities. Western had been underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. It allowed the progressive thinking artists to show a different side to the world around them. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a 'new kind of art' which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. Abstract artists created art that was diverse and reflected the social and intellectual turmoil in all areas of Western culture.

People that chose abstract art as their preferred artform tend to be visionsaries. They see things in the world around them and in people that others may miss because they look beyond what is visual only with the eye.

Yeah, you know, here's my critique:

1. I am NOT visual. I'm not good at evaluating visual things.

2. In this test, I generally either didn't really like any of them, or I liked more than one equally.

3. I think the Impressionism answer should be "wishy washy" rather than "may not be socially acceptable." I know when the impressionist movement was starting, it wasn't socially acceptable, but it seems like now that is the most socially acceptable kind of art there is. And I chose them because I am not visual and they were either familiar or the least unpleasant.

Uhm Renaissance art is kinda harmony-based, calming, noble, and idealistic. The perfect form. The instructive story. The archetypal/mythical idea and figures. Why on earth would it be challenging. mmm . It's not like it's Dada, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, or Surrealism. Man.

But, to me:

•Cubism: looks like a bunch of chaotic boxes to me. It doesn't look like as much of an investment.

•Surrealism: I like it because it gives me something to think about.

•Expressionism: For the ones that popped up on google, I didn't like the boldness of color that many of them had. The lines were too undefined.

•Fauvism: First thought, fingerpaint mess.

•Dada: looks like a collage of already existing pieces that have been pasted together.

Renaissance: I like the themes. It tells a story. To me, it's a reflection of the ever present human condition. I like the attention to detail in things like the hands and the clothes. It seems like it took a lot of time and investment. (Maybe that's why it's believed people that like challenging things like Renaissance art?)

God, now I'm going to be thinking about this all day....I'd be interested in hearing your take on the different kinds of art if you are interested, though. I suspect you are more knowledgable in the matter.

---

I think all these trends had enough objective value (except for mby Dadaism.. ) because they were meant to shake tradition and rigid conventions and replace old forms with new highly ingenious ideas. However my personal take .. as their art speaks to me:


> Dada: chaotic overflow and "arrangement" with something artistically beautiful supposed to arise out of disorder and lack of intent .... which isn't happening in most cases. It was a very revolutionary movement that had socio-cultural value imo. But the works of art taken individually don't tell me much. I like how they employ collage.

> Cubism : highly abstract (detached from real things in the environment and from subjective perceptual or emotional "landscape") and complicated ... it's more about form and color than about communicating well-shaped meaning. I do like some pieces ...Braque, Picasso .... I like them for the sharp geometric patterns most of all.

> Surrealism : It's meant to move away from objective reality .,..just as Cubism/Abstract art ... but there's a focus on human consciousness, dream-like states, imagination, the unconscious .... There are whole alternative narratives and figures that come up out of this. So I like it because it's extremely creative and independent ...you don't get the feeling it's mainly about parody and mockery of older forms. However it depends on the painter ... I dislike Dali (too much. and too repetitive. looks like an obsession with the same motifs, ideas, and methods. ). I love Magritte https://www.google.de/search?q=jacek...itte+paintings... Joan Miro..... but also a few contemporary works of folks who still follow surrealist principles. https://www.google.de/search?q=jacek...ed=0CAcQ_AUoAQ

> Expressionism - some directions are awesome. Strong, rich, bold colors; sharp, vivid, paroxistic emotionality. Cool enough. Not a fan of the anxiety-and-alienation orientation of someone like Munch. However I like art that represents exuberance, euphoria, or some form of aggression/struggle. Franz Marc, Paul Klee ... and especially Chagall, Van Gogh and Kandinsky (altho the latter moves into abstraction a lot). The chromatic luxury (and even exhibitionism) makes me melt.

> Fauvism -- it's more experimental and weaker as a movement. Again I like the strong and bright colors, the contrasts folks indulge in .... but the meaning is not really something thought-provoking and smashing. It was supposed to reflect a "return" to rawness and primitivism. Anyway too much emphasis on form and style, so to speak. I like Matisse.

> Renaissance : extremely valuable objectively speaking .... but excessive appreciation of symmetry, equilibrium ... search for perfection ... the world doesn't look that static, dry, and utopian to me. I like many artists, ofc ...but I wouldn't buy their works and I don't spend much time staring at them by other means. Great focus on detail, eulogy of spotless beauty, very elaborate and elevating art ... but ultimately it feels limiting and unrealistic.

Other kinds of art I like >> Baroque (mostly in music, architecture, sculpture, but sometimes painting as well). It centers on majestic, overpowering qualities rather than "quiet and quieting beauty". It's mainly about grandiose and sublime things with a high degree of dramatic tension. Then Realism (to a certain extent ... take Edward Hopper, for instance https://www.google.de/search?q=magri...q=edward+hoppe). Luminism (pretty simple, but ecstatic). And Postmodernism on the whole, of course. Not into stuff like Pollock. Boring and meaningless.

Simple, Progressive, and Sensual

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.

Cool test.

Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful

13 Islamic, 8 Impressionist, -4 Ukiyo-e, -8 Cubist, -3 Abstract and -14 Renaissance!

Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.

People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919.

People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer.

I don't think I've ever really liked Cubism...(one of my grandfather's favourite paintings was Guernica, although this was in large part because of the significance of the painting)

Not my favorite either but I guess given the options in the test it was the inevitable outcome. :)

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.
People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.


I picked quite a few based on the subject matter of the individual painting. I'm mostly just happy that the makers of this test were smart enough not to be like "you don't like purely abstract art so you're stupid" (purely abstract art is often just fluff IMO, it can look nice but it's more like a craft than actual art since it doesn't mean anything). Not being "progressive" is probably pretty close to being stupid for a lot of people though. We also have to stop the Subteigh x Verbrannte thing now...

Yeah, where are all the tons of other kinds of art? All that my results really say is that I like figurative art. Given a wider selection, they could probably find something about you, but these are mostly Forer-effect-y with a few vague concrete things thrown in.


@Chae That looks like my results. Basically, as I said, just a general preference for figurative art, which is especially meaningless given there's no realistic art available to differentiate those categories.

I scored highest on impressionist and got the balanced and secure result. I do enjoy abstract art though, just not any that was in the test particularly. I really like abstract seascapes for example.

I was wondering about it as well, you just scored less in the Abstract department. Good point, I also experience the same w/ sculptures.

Yeah. And as I said, it doesn't even differentiate things that much. It mostly just seems to be an attempt at classifying people in terms of their 1. political beliefs 2. interestingness 3. intelligence (which also correlate 100% with 1. in the common view) rather than a real artistic survey (like some others I've seen, although one of those confused figurative art and "photorealism" :bashhead: I like figurative art, realism is boring, get stuff straight).


I've never been super into visual arts (although I'm trying to be now) but for a while I was really into the expressionist movement as a whole (film, writing, etc.), but I don't see anything like that here (expressionism and impressionism are not as similar as the names suggest). I don't think the categories here really represent all artistic categories so much as all mainstream political categories, as I said.
