When everyone likes serene pictures of realistic dears and nicely painted skies Italy loves the more abstract paint strokes with bright colors all over the place. What is up with Italy’s least wanted painting? Probably the most random painting you’ll come across for out of all of the. Elvis? Emaciated naked statues? THE PINK POWER RANGER?? What is going on there?
Looking at the different surveys Italians rather see an older object over a newer one. They’re smart enough to know that they rather buy a painting that they like rather than a painting that goes with their décor. And, oh! What a surprise, Italians prefer Italian art over all other art. How modest. (that’s not as bad as how much more Americans prefer their own art over other art…geez).
They’ll take traditional art over modern art and they love the spring…who doesn’t? They don’t like looking at animals and, my lord, what ever you do, don’t talk about religion. Italians cant really decide what kind of indoor scene they want to see so just throw the objects out the window. And while all these loopy Italians with high school educations seem somewhat uptight about what kind of art they like, they go and say that they want to see “different looking paintings” with “whimsical designs.” So if you find yourself having dinner with an Italian (and an author they so badly want to serve food to) don’t be afraid to talk about spending taxes on art, and why were there so many Power Ranger series.
