work of art
artist's work, masterpiece of art
Work of art
In
fine art, a work of art (or artwork or work) is a creation, such as a
song,
book,
film,
print,
sculpture or a
painting, that has been made in order to be a thing of beauty in itself or a
symbolic statement of meaning, rather than having a practical function. Since
modernism, the field of
fine art has expanded to include
photography (and
fine art photography in particular),
film (and
art film in particular),
performance art,
conceptual art, and
video art.What is perceived as a work of
art differs between cultures and eras and by the meaning of the term '"
art" itself. Up until the 1970s, for example,
art critics and the general public tended to exclude
applied arts from works of art.
