Work of art
In fine art, a work of art (or artwork or work) is a creation, such as a songbookfilmprintsculpture 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 artconceptual 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.
