Autonomous & Applied

Applied art

The design of functional articles like clothing, furniture, printed matter or buildings fall under this label.

Applied art: design is important, 

but they are primary utility articles

Autonomous art

Artworks are autonomous when they have 

no function other than 'art'.

Autonomous art has no further practical purpose or application.

Autonomous art: Its most important purpose 

is to move you or stimulate your imagination

Autonomous or applied?

An idea as visual art

What is art? 

Art happens between the object and the viewer.

Autonomous & Applied

The dividing line between autonomous art

and applied art is not rigid.
