Pretentious in a painterly way

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arty

(Other definitions for arty that I've seen before include "aspiring to be creative?" , "Affectedly cultured" , "Making a point of appearing interested in painting, sculpture etc" , "Pretentiously affected" , "Like an aesthete" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
