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

Style: claccisism, academism<\/strong><\/p>\n

Genre: portrait<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0There is a reason why artists paint portraits, and this reason is different for each style. Some artists strive to convey the inner world, emotions of a common man \u2013 that is sentimentalism. Some artists only portray strong people who will not rest until the world grants them what they deserve, such artists do not fall for…<\/p>\n

mediocre or everyday people and ideas; they study the power of man and nature, the timelessness of the spirit, living on the edge \u2013 those are romanticists<\/a><\/span>. Or a portrait may be symbolic and contain some codes through which the metempirical reality, the universe reveals itself, and the viewer receives the key to the riddles of life, and that is symbolism<\/a><\/span>. So, what\u2019s different in classicism? The individuality is kept to a minimum. The artist is not interested in the personality of the model and his artistic intent goes far beyond conveying individual quality of a person for the viewer. Classicism puts the moral imperative before the individual desires, the reason triumphs over passion. And people are depicted just the way to radiate this supremacy of the universal order and the moral imperative. Men are usually upper-class, but it\u2019s not the wealthiness or manners that come to the fore, but the commitment to moral obligations and the public service, the merit and the honor, the responsibility that comes with great power. And so, the simple allegories, the setting and secondary objects are always easy to interpret once you know what to look for. Same is true for women in the classicist portraits \u2013 you won\u2019t see any emotional turmoil, no frown lines on the face caused by daily routine. A woman is the very picture of virtue, purity and maternity. No excessive beauty, no hideousness, no playful peculiarities \u2013 these have nothing to do with the higher purpose of people\u2019s life. \u00a0The same principles, but updated from the contemporary perspective are followed by academists and neo-classicists.<\/div>

If you chose the portrait genre in the styles of academism and classicism, you share the same values<\/strong>. Status and wealth are not your criteria to treat a person. You accept people at their true worth and admire those who make a difference, who care for other people and the world they live in, who contribute to the common good, no matter how small the impact may be. And therefore you raise the bar for yourself; you exceed expectations both at work and at home. You put high value on self-education, and you raise children guided by human values rather than earthbound pounds-shillings-and-pence reasoning. A person who chose this genre and style is community-minded: he cannot imagine his life without helping the others, which can take any form \u2013 politics, volunteer work, charity, donorship, trainings, psychological therapy etc.<\/p>\n
