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

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

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

Cubists did not seek to depict things \u2013 they were striving to examine and convey their essence, their basic structure. Take a city, for instance: there are trees, people and buildings, the houses have windows and doors, the trees have leafage and branches, the people wear headwear.\u00a0Yet there is no traditional attention to detail.<\/p>\n

No need to thoroughly produce each and every window, shape of a leaf or colour of a hat to paint the city. Cubists did not even make a difference for seasonal changes and the weather \u2013 only the essence is important, regardless of external factors. All the windows, roofs and trees are just attributes that will make their way into a painting, yet in a set of dismantled elements placed from different angles. Thus we do see the attributes that are clear of anything changing and unnecessary \u2013 we see the core essence of the city, and the misshapen distorted quality of the composition lets us free from the biased perception and the distracting details. If we consider cityscapes in other styles, we will get a better picture of how the philosophy behind the style influences the manner of representation.<\/p>\n

Impressionists<\/a><\/span>, for instance, struggled to convey the translucent beauty of a fleeting moment, the vibration and the instability of everything around \u2013 and their cities look the way you would see them from the window of a train passing by. With realists<\/a><\/span> a city is a living organism that bears the burden and carries the main peculiarities of the time, the geography, political status and other typical things.<\/p>\n

As for cubist cityscapes<\/strong>, the city as we see it is never the purpose: what matters is the fundamental attributes that do not change with time, season, time of the day or other technicalities. The rational construction inherent to the city is presented by way of juxtaposing elementary forms \u2013 spheres, cones, cylinders etc. Despite the flat layout, local colours, straight geometrical lines and other characteristics that simplify the paintings for a common viewer, their position in the composition, the colour and the size are symbolic in cubism. When you analyze a cubist cityscape you should note the interralation and the interplay of colour plains (the sharp contrasts, the scale of different colour patches, the symbolic meaning of colours), the interaction of forms, straight and broken lines etc. Forms, lines and colours are as meaningful for cubists as the narrative and the characters are for traditional paintings<\/strong>.<\/div>

A person who prefers cubist cityscapes appreciates solitude and comfort<\/strong>, very concerned about his privacy and choosy when it comes to people. He is observant and considerate, with little taste for romance and spontaneity \u2013 he prefers to demonstrate his affection on an everyday basis in a properly tangible form. He is bound for success, capable of focusing on what really matters and avoiding distraction, and he knows how to allocate time and limited resources. The drawback of that is that he relies only on oneself, unable to delegate duties. He is a man of settled habit, places value in order and discipline that let him save time and energy. You should avoid any familiarity when communicating with this person, and by all means keep your emotions low \u2013 brains on ice and close-know argumentation are the only way to make him interested in you.<\/p>\n
