A place to talk about art on Farcaster. Artwork created by jacob.eth

Fine art is created primarily for aesthetics or beauty, distinguishing it from decorative art or applied art, which must also involve some practical function, such as pottery or metalwork. In aesthetic theories developed in Renaissance Italy, the highest art was that which allowed for the full expression and display of the artist's imagination, without any of the practical considerations involved in, for example, making and decorating a teapot. It was also considered important that the creation of a work of art did not require a variety of specialized individuals with specialized skills, as, for example, a piece of furniture might produce a work. Even within the fine arts, there was a hierarchy of genres based on the degree of creative imagination required, with painting ranked above still life.
