You are Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
You are extremely popular and widely known. Although unassuming and
unpretentious, your enigmatic smile has charmed millions. You are a
mystery, able to be appreciated from afar, but ultimately unknowable and
thus intriguing.
...which is weird.

I got...
You are Piet Mondrian's Composition A.
You are rigidly organised and regimented, although your cold and
unapproachable exterior hides a clever way of thinking and a
rebellious and innovative nature. A lot of people don't understand
you, but you can still affect them on an emotional level.
And I *hate* abstract art.

And I'm Edgar Degas' Dance Class.
You appear soft and gentle, but hide a core of rigid structure and
discipline. You work hard and follow orders, because you are determined
to succeed, but remain attached to displays of frivolity and maintaining
your appearance.
Which is actually not a bad assessment but I'm not sure about the
"maintaining your appearance" bit :))

I played it several times, as I could answer truthfully to a variety
of the options. My favourite is :
You are Pablo Picasso's Three Musicians.
You are colourful and provoking, always looking to break out of the
mould and to pioneer new ways of doing things. You have a jaunty
outlook and although you are a bit weird, most people have some idea
what you're about.
I think that fits me ok :-)

I am, obviously, Darsy's evil twin. There's no reason you couldn't be
mine, and Anne yours. This leads us to the realisation of the existence

Oh, I'm just a *mess* of irrational prejudices and intolerance. At
least I'm harmless; I make no apologies for the belief that art should
look like something, and not just an unmade bed. A *painting* of an
unmade bed, however, I can appreciate.

Oh do I have to? I really can't be arsed [1]
So you *do* like modern art, then?
[1] And anyway, I'm staying in the Hilton London Metropole tonight,
and I don't know what their phone charges are, but I bet they're
fucking outrageous. Even tho the company is paying, I'm not going to
take the piss, so I'm keeping my time online to a minimum. Which
means no deja.
darsy
>So you *do* like modern art, then?
depends on what you mean by modern art. "Modern Art" includes most of
the stuff done in the 19th century, remember.
I like most art, though some nonrepresentational art leaves me cold.
On the other hand, I really like Graphics, and some abstract stuff.
To give you a clue, these[0] are some of my fav. works of (painted)

Hmm. I always reckoned the modern period started in about 1890. Not
sure why tho. I don't suppose there is a definitive date (well, a
brief search didn't reveal one)
