Extroverted, Progressive, and Intelligent
12 Cubist, -9 Islamic, 6 Ukiyo-e, 0 Impressionist, 0 Abstract and -20 Renaissance!
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.
Hmmmm.
1. Not extroverted
2. Not forward thinking
3. Definitely look at all angles of problems
4. Not so sure about looking at what the future of right hand spinning has to offer.
5. Many other inaccuracies.
But it was a fun quiz.

Balanced, Secure, and Realistic.

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.

Non-conformist, visionary (?), independent--apparently I favor abstract art. But somewhat accurate; my current favorite is Franz Marc.

I end up liking all the Asian art. Not sure what it says about me is accurate either.

That was fun ... I've been labeled "Impressionist (Balanced, Secure and Realistic)". I'd like to believe that's true. On good days it is.

Well that was a fun test, but I got extroverted, progressive and intelligent. I'll opt for the intelligent, and perhaps progressive but not I suspect in the way they mean it. There must be a way to enjoy cubist and abstract art and remain a confirmed introspective introvert.
I'll have to withdraw into myself and think about that a while.
