So here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:
Style: pin-up
Pin up has always been and will always stay
a profoundly decorative style with no aesthetic and artistic background whatsoever. It emerged in XX century advertising and grew widely popular during World War II when every soldier had a poster featuring a juicy posing girl with a mischievous smile.
First girls were pictured less revelaing – the paintings were erotic, with a stocking or a lace showing here and there, nothing drastic. This overlook was made up for later, the girl becoming ever more playful and audacious and naked, and captured all printed products, from posters and calendars to advertising campaigns and fighter aircraft fuselages. The hallmark of the style is that the models’ names were as loud as the artists’. The girls who enchanted the whole world from pin-up paintings were Betty Grable, Bettie Page, Frankii Wilde, even Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot were spotted as pin-up girls.
A person who prefers pin-up paintings is quite pragmatic about fine arts. A good painting should look good on the wall, especially in the office. He is a young man, not much pressured and involved in conventional wisdoms and worldly matters, and it helps him overcome daily routine problems in an easy and joyful manner. He is bold and ambitious, challenging and productive. He chooses to be careless but adjusts to the circumstances. He follows the trends but works out his signature style. Among the “big” styles in fine arts he should consider art nouveau, art deco and impressionism.
