Whether it's the make-up or the revealing attire, Rudy Faber always manages to integrate cabaret flair into his delightfully [whimsical pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025) -- and I don't think anyone's complaining. My favorite Rudy Faber illustration is the one entitled 'The Absurdity of Love', which features a pair kissing in free fall in between what appears to be curtains. The pegasus in the picture, looking apathetic and depressed in one all-encompassing expression, only adds to the overall whimsy of the piece. **Implications** - Consumers appreciate fine arts because of its euphoric escapism-inducing quality.
