** The statues of Ancient Egypt are very memorable and recognizable. For instance [[Art/NefertitiBust the statue of Queen Nefertiti]]. Her headband just screams Ancient Egypt. [[http://www.edu.pe.ca/rural/class_webs/art/images/Nefertiti.jpg Have a look here]].

** UsefulNotes/TheRenaissance: Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti, Raphaël and Donatello. Usually this art style is associated with Italy, but other countries had notable painters too like Creator/HieronymusBosch, Creator/PieterBruegelTheElder and Albrecht Dürer.

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


To most people, the word "art" will automatically be interpreted as "{{paintings}}" and "{{sculptures}}". Most people will think of figurative art as actual art and see modern art as basically [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible a lot of garbage or primitive, ugly stuff that anyone can do]].

* If a famous painter is mentioned, expect one of these to be name dropped: Creator/LeonardoDaVinci, Creator/MichelangeloBuonarroti (who is known by his first name only), Creator/RembrandtVanRijn, Creator/PeterPaulRubens, Creator/VincentVanGogh (whose surname is ''always'' mispronounced), Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Creator/HenriDeToulouseLautrec, Creator/PabloPicasso, Creator/SalvadorDali, Creator/AndyWarhol. Picasso is probably the most (mis/ab)used because of his recognizable style and strong association with cubism, which is still perceived as somewhat snobbish and a prime example of TrueArtIsIncomprehensible.

* Picasso only ever made Cubism. Specifically, Cubism that resembles ''Les demoiselles d'avignon''. Not only that, but he's also the only Cubist ever. He was actually a master of realistic painting because you can stylize only if you know forms and shapes perfectly. Cubism in particular is abused by characters (in-universe). They are likely to state that TrueArtIsIncomprehensible or if they like it, they might be suspected to be snobs who only pretend that.
