The Dutch Masters Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
Clara Peeters, Johannes Vermeer, Pieter Claesz, Rachel Ruysch
type description:
the person in your life who has a calming presence; they are a great listener and give you 100% of their attention when you need them. They can be intense, sometimes altogether too serious, but they are also romantic: you will always find fresh flowers in their house. They relish the small details and have many eclectic collections.
perfect gifts:
A one-of-a-kind Pearl party piece like the Mixed Pearl Party gold toggle necklace
The Art Nouveau Affinity
Notable Artists:
Antoni Gaudi, Gustav Klimt, Jules Brunfaut, Françoise Xavier, Claude Lalanne
Type Description:
This person is torn between the beauty of the outdoors and the vibrancy of city life, so why not combine the two! This free spirit is a social butterfly who surrounds themself with nature’s beauty– no object is too mundane or utilitarian for ornament.
perfect gifts:
The Chinese Ink Painting Affinity
Notable Artists/artworks:
Shen Zhou, Zhang Daqian, Qing Dyansty Scholar Rock, Liu Dan
type description:
For the intellectual who has a large collection of books, and absolutely loves a good pen. They are contemplative and introverted. They are drawn to the mountains, for there’s nothing like a sweeping vista to inspire a song, a poem, a drawing, a conversation.
perfect gifts:
The Surrealist Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, max Ernst, Louise Bourgeois
Type description:
Enigmatic and intoxicating, this friend makes you do a double-take every time you see them. They love to surprise, are unafraid to shock, and get a thrill out of changing up their look. With a penchant for the macabre, they are excited by unexpected combinations and inspired by their own dream worlds; this friend is artistic, moody, and sometimes a bad influence when you need it.
perfect gifts:
The Renaissance Art Affinity
Notable Artists:
Sandro Botticelli, Giotto, Bartolomeo Veneto
Type Description:
For the one who embodies classical elegance and has a taste for luxury. Their style can be at once conservative and ostentatious. They love their creature comforts, but are fiercely loyal and generous. You go to them when you need advice on anything under the sun, but especially for the best value red wine at the supermarket.
Perfect gifts:
The Ancient Art Affinity
notable artworks:
The woman of willendorf, The Sphinx, Etruscan ceramic vessels, Paestum temple, Nazca Lines
Type Description:
For the archeology buff. The Pyramids of Giza are at the top of their extensive travel list. Endlessly searching for what connects us all as human beings, they seek adventure to bring them closer to others, and ultimately, themselves. Geometric abstraction and organic forms are their jam.
