虽然肯定不会完全合意，但英语里有一个形容词，比较接近中文「文艺范儿」涵义——

arty

Showily or pretentiously artistic- arty lighting and photography

-- Merriam-Webster http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arty

Showily imitative of art or artists

-- Princeton University WordNet http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Pretending to artistic worth; high-flown

-- Wikitionary http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/arty

「arty」本来就有一点点贬义了，比这个词再贬义一点点的一个同义变体是——

artsy

Arty

-- Merriam-Webster http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/artsy

Making a strong, affected, or pretentious display of being artistic or interested in the arts - the artsy town of Taos - artsy French flicks

-- Google Dictionary https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=artsy&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=VXXjToW5MILJmQWzwIzxBA&ved=0CDQQkQ4&biw=1366&bih=652

Inclined towards the arts; arty

-- Wikitionary http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/artsy

然后呢，比 artsy 还要更明显的贬义形态，是——

artsy-fartsy

Slang: Vulgar: arty.

-- http://Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/artsy-fartsy

Associated with or showing a pretentious interest in the arts - you can wear a turtleneck to join your artsy-fartsy friends

-- Google Dictionary https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=artsy&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=VXXjToW5MILJmQWzwIzxBA&ved=0CDQQkQ4&biw=1366&bih=652#hl=en&tbs=dfn:1&sclient=psy-ab&q=artsy-fartsy&pbx=1&oq=artsy-far&aq=0&aqi=g2g-v8&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=312954l314571l0l315653l6l6l0l0l0l1l900l2737l3-3.2.0.1l6l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=9f69c0b6009b6bc5&biw=1366&bih=652

(informal) A frivolous or dismissive description of someone or something that is artistic or pretentiously artistic.

-- Wikitionary http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/artsy-fartsy

由此可见，基本上，artsy-fartsy（你看里面包含的 fart 这个词），就接近于中文的「文艺装哔范儿」啦。
