So, here is the final verdict on your preferences in art:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Style: impressionism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre: still life<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still life paintings <\/strong>pursue the same goal as the style of impressionism generally \u2013 to capture the fleeting moment in its ephemeral beauty. Realists<\/a><\/span>, for instance, used this genre to study manifestations of the laws of life, the life style and perceptions of certain TYPES of people. Impressionists, on the contrary, depicted…<\/p>\n

more mundane objects as seen for the first time, they portrayed the occasional, unique, surface-deep qualities of things, the perceptions or impressions of the objects on the canvases. The first impression is short-lived and fleeting, and yet it\u2019s the most lively and vivid, impossible to reveal through fine detalizations and accurate delicate brushwork. An object in impressionist still lifes does not stand out – it is woven into the environment it belongs to thus suggesting the integrity, and it is perceived in integrity with the atmosphere of the painting. You don\u2019t remember the object in detail \u2013 you remember the impression it produces under certain circumstances. In their pursuit of capturing fleeting impressions of everyday life, the impressionists ruled out everything that evokes deeper emotions \u2013 the only thing you get is the beauty of a bouquet, but you don\u2019t get a closer look. You don\u2019t see the glass or the dress \u2013 just the patches of light and the vibration of colour they serve as the background for. No frowning, no contemplating on the frailty of life, no intellectual harassment allowed! The impressionist still lifes live up to the well-known observation by Blaise Pascal: \u201cThe art of still life is so mysterious \u2013 it makes you admire copies of those things you do not really admire in the original\u201d<\/em>.<\/div>

A person who loves impressionist still lifes is an incurable optimist<\/strong>, determined, energetic, charismatic and resourceful. He easily finds inspiration in things other people just indifferently walk by. He derives pleasure from simple moments of life, and finds beauty in simple things, and he does not subject reality to scrupulous analysis of a surgeon. He does not need to rationalize the reality to enjoy it, and he has the power to linger on to see the fair joy \u2013 it\u2019s a rare quality now, and the person who enjoys impressionist still lifes demonstrates it to the full.<\/p>\n
