I came across a clip from The Great Muppet Caper (a film I had not seen since childhood) and I learned what kind of art Animal enjoyed.

IMDb

“Kermit: What’s wrong with the drummer? He looks a little crazed.

Zoot: Oh, he’s just upset about missing the Rembrandt exhibit at the National Gallery.

Animal: RENOIR!”

Surprising, yes?  After hearing that, I thought he’d prefer the Fauvists.

ETA: I didn’t see the actual YouTube clip, but seeing clips from that film inspired me to look for quotes from the film.
