That's the thing of it, really. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," and whatnot. I guess if you're really interested in commercial art, take a look at Andy Warhol's "pop art," (and have lots of rich friends to prop you up). Otherwise, I'd suggest to just pursue a career in graphic design/art directing.
Yes, commercial art. What sells? And, because nobody wants to spend his time selling bananas to monkeys, what's appreciated?

Will do. Thanks
It really is subjective. However, if we are talking commercial art, Robert Britto is one of the biggest names.
And I'm not sure what kind of answer you are looking for. My cousin is a professional artist but he only makes a limited number a year (def less than 10), makes a living off of it... His mind just works differently and his imagination is crazy. Its hard to explain what he sees in the mundane like just standing in line for coffee or looking at his dinner.
As far as art in my house, its been just art from local art galleries, and therefore local artists. They all have different styles. Traditional, contemporary, mixed media, etc.
Thats why its really subjective.
