What Your Favorite Artwork Says About You

Cocktails, cheese, books, footwear -- who knew the faintest detail of a personal preference could reveal so much about our personalities? So, we thought: If our favorite milk products and children's literature can be so illuminating, what about our favorite pieces of art...?

Thus began our investigation into the character-revealing aspects of everyone's most loved masterpieces. Because a picture's worth a thousand words at least a few revelatory sentences, right?Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"Obviously you are a romantic, one who dreams of traveling the world, eating fine foods and probably falling in love with an opera singer or aspiring actor. Or, you're just attracted to shiny things like gold, and you owned too many college dorm posters.Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night"You are a quiet intellectual who enjoys spending nights in... gazing out a window perhaps? You are probably beyond tired of the label "introvert." You may or may not be pursuing an unrequited love interest. (Please, do not cut off any body parts in the process.)Edvard Munch's "The Scream""Laid back" is not a term people would use to describe you. You can often be seen slaving over a computer, finishing work in the wee hours of the night. In fact, you probably make this face more often than you'd like, and you're not impersonating Kevin McCallister.Frida Kahlo's Portraits (Any of Them)You have extravagant style, a dominant speaking voice and an impetuous attitude toward life overall. You utter the words "Why Not?" more than the average individual. If faced with the decision of what pet to buy, your brain goes straight to monkey.Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"You've read too many thrillers that sensationalize art history, so much so that you've embarked upon your own quest to solve the mystery of this woman's smirk. This is, therefore, not the first time you've gazed upon her face today. We fear your undeterred resolve.Jean-Michel Basquiat's "Dustheads"Mainstream [insert anything here] is just not for you. Your friends consider you a source of information for anything indie, alternative or artsy. You make a lot of mixed tapes. And your next choice for favorite artwork would have been anything by Keith Haring.Georgia O'Keeffe's "Pink Tulip"Your desert island check list: a good book, a strong cup of tea and an iPod stocked with a few hours of classical music. Or just this painting. This painting would do.Jackson Pollock's "Number 19"You thrive in chaos. You eat while driving, read magazines backwards and need to have at least one layer of clutter around the house to feel comfortable. But hey, it works.Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory"You are the type of person who feels very comfortable sharing vivid details from your slightly horrific dreams to the chagrin of every single one of your friends. You have "inhaled." You have "exhaled." And then you repeated the process a couple times for good measure.Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup ScreenprintsYour biggest secret: You've more than once contemplated a singing career because, hey, you're voice sounds really good echoing through the halls of empty staircases.Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights"Oddball, horse of a different color, strange bird. There are more than a few phrases to describe your special brand of "you." But you don't care. Because you're too busy examining the 50 shades of crazy happening in this painting! Amiright?Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain"You're a contrarian with a quick wit. If Magritte's "Ceci n'est pas une pipe (This is not a pipe)" was on this list, you would have picked that. In fact, you pick that anyway.Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"Because who doesn't love a good early 19th century woodprint? Seriously, everyone loves this artwork, they just do.Cindy Sherman's Self PortraitsYou have muttered the word "obvious" about six or seven times throughout the course of reading this list's other options. You love Cindy, but she's not even your first choice for favorite contemporary artist.Damien Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living"AP Photo/Matt DunhamYou've never been to a museum. But you do have a morbid fascination with animals in vitrines.(huffingtonpost.com)ANN.Az
