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

Style: commercial art \/ kitsch (we have singled it out as a style for the purpose of convenience)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

First let\u2019s review general characteristics of kitsch. First things to strike the eye are the excessive sentimentality, simplicity and intensity of colours<\/strong>. There is no grand philosophy or theory in the background, no refined aesthetics and no high-brow appeal…<\/p>\n

The subjects are joyful and simple, funny at times, appealing to skin-deep emotions, and the colour scheme is bright and intense, pleasing for a respectable citizen with no artistic background. Kitsch is commercial art, and as such it focuses on a common man rather than a connoisseur. That\u2019s why what we see in kitsch portraits is cute kids, kissing couples, sexy girls and celebrities against a catching decorative background. These portraits are adored by handmade admirers, they are often made into schemes for embroidery and puzzles. They are often chosen for kitchens and children\u2019s rooms, since they present no collector value, but do nicely decorating the house and creating a cosy, homy, unpretentious atmosphere.<\/div>

A person who prefers kitsh portraits appreciates comfort and is grateful for every smallest blessing and cherry pie his life offers<\/strong>. He loves his family, he is hard-working and easy-going. He might not make a load of money, but he knows how to stay happy and positive, and that\u2019s far more valuable. Among the \u201chigh-brow\u201d styles he most definitely will love art nouveau or art deco portraits.<\/p>\n
