definition of

eclectic 1.Unrelated and unspecialized. 2.Crossing a range or mixture of specialties. Selecting a mixture of what appear to be best of various doctrines, methods, or styles. Eclecticism is a kind of mixed style in the fine arts: "the borrowing of a variety of styles from different sources and combining them" (Hume 2003, p.5). Significantly, Eclecticism hardly ever constituted a specific style in art: it is characterized by the fact that it was not a particular style. In general, the term describes the combination in a single work of a variety of influences — mainly of elements from different historical styles in architecture, painting, and the graphic and decorative arts. wikipedia

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” Gore Vidal
