Question 3

What is the difference between art and fine art?

Accepted Answer

Fine art is a category of art comprising works with purely aesthetic purpose, as opposed to applied art, which serves a practical function.

Question 4

What is conceptual art in contemporary art?

Accepted Answer

In contemporary art, conceptual art is a movement that began in the 1960s. Artists producing conceptual art assign more importance to the idea behind the art than to the piece itself. An example is Joseph Kosuth’s One and Three Chairs, a piece consisting of a real chair, a photograph of a chair and the dictionary definition of the word chair. When the work was displayed, Kosuth included instructions for any chair to be photographed and then displayed beside its image. In this way, the chair itself is not the artwork. Rather, the art comes from examining the way the object, image and words provide competing and complementary definitions of what a chair is. Find a large selection of fine art on 1stDibs.
