I enjoy asking what new acquaintances’ favorite styles of art are because I love being pretentious. Most of the time I declare my favorite styles to be Post-Impressionism and Surrealism. In Post-Impressionism I specifically love the way the painters paint the crisp white lace on the noble ladies’ dresses. Recently, I have realized however, that there is a style that I like even more than Post-Impressionism and Surrealism. Cartoons are my favorite art style. When I say cartoons, I define that as including both still cartoons and those in animated features, there is something so dynamic about them. Coming to this realization and allowing myself not to be so damn stuffy, I have also been indulging in exploring many more cartoons that I have not seen as well as re-watching some from my childhood. I think cartoons for adults have some of the deepest emotional impact on me when I think of all the other television I watch. I get to admire beautiful artwork drawn by very talented people, but also I get to watch complex themes be explored by the screenwriters with the help of voice actors. The medium of cartoons may be good for reminiscing on childhood, but it is also very versatile art form that is equally adept at telling stories with complex growth and emotional depth.
