fake-artsy
those girls who take 1000 "deep" photos of themselves (that are all on facebook, listen to Iron & Wine and wear clothes from Urban Outfitters.
they consider themselves "artsy" when in fact using a film camera you bought at urban outfitters does NOT make you artsy nor even an artist.
they will know nothing about art, yet consider their photos of themselves looking sad a piece of art.
you will find them in their natural habitat of cities such as Brooklyn and San Francisco.

A derogatory term to describe a pretentiously irritating person who exhibits an overblown involvement or appreciation of the arts
Artsy-fartsy individuals tend to be unemployed and enjoy finger-painting.

ABSTRACT ARTIST: This old boot stuck to a canvas represents fading life and lost integrity....
TEENAGER: Uh, yeh, dude, it's just an artsy fartsy old boot.

used to describe either a person who does weird art for the sake of being artsy or the art that a person like that does. artsy fartsy is generally bad artwork that is made so weird and hard to understand, that people just assume it's genius.
"that artsy farsty girl just painted a canvas black. she thinks it represents her pain, but i think it's just artsy fartsy."

Anything produced in the arts that is over the top eccentric and comes out looking stupid. The artist who created it is usually some loser who tries to be different, but does the same thing as every other artsy-fartsy type. They tend to think their works are unique, creatively genius, good for all humanity, abstract, and expressive. If the artists is a film maker then the movie makes absolutely no sense, will have random shots, is usually shot in black and white, and has stupid monotone dialogue. If they are a musician then they create music specific for avant-garde. The music is a bunch of noise with no harmony, rhythm, or present melody. The artist says his or her piece of music details the work of a Picasso painting.
Every 'artsy-fartsy' person is an aspiring artist. Even if they just go to museums to stare at paintings and act like they have a true passion for it, they can't help but create their own pieces of trash. Then they show it off to the public and the public tells them they suck. So the artists always respond with "no one understands my vision" or some stupid excuse like that.
Don't confuse the phony artsy-fartsy types from the real artists. Real artists will consistently change their style of work and explore new areas. The fakes will copy off a real artist and make the same pointless work for the rest of their career. Real artists will never cheese-out.

Trying too hard to be artistic; an overly strong interest in appearing to be aesthetically aware.
From a lyrical marriage of the words "art" (creative or imaginative activity such as painting or poetry) and "fart" (expelling gas). The implication is that the art (or person) in question is no more than a glorified fart.

I don't like his paintings - they're a little bit too artsy fartsy.
