Specialty Definition: Fine art

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Fine art is a term used to refer to fields traditionally considered to be artistic. It is also used to describe "high-quality" works from these fields.

"Fine art" differs from "useful art" (craft) in that it is purely aesthetic, whereas crafts are made to serve a practical purpose. Example: a sculpture of a teapot that does not actually work is fine art, whereas one that does work is craft.

ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

Acrylic painting of a Barrow's Goldeneye by Robert Steiner, 315 Cornwall Street, San Francisco, CA 94118. As one of the top wildlife artist's in the country, Bob Steiner, finally won the 1997 Federal Duck Stamp Contest at the age of 48 after 17 previous attempts. Chosen over 379 other entries, Steiner's Barrow's Goldeneye depicts the majesty of the species. The same design, with some enhancements, came in third in the 1995 Federal Duck Stamp Contest (the winner that year was the Surf Scoter design by Wilhelm Goebel). Mr. Steiner has designed a total of 47 duck stamp (state and other commissioned venues), more than any other artist. With a Bachelor's degree in painting and etching at the renowned Rhode Island School of Design, he also achieved a Master's degree in etching and fine art printmaking from San Francisco State University.
