It's not art, it's an advertisement.
- latexr 2y agoI’m not saying this ad was art, but art and advertisement aren’t mutually exclusive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_Soup_Cans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_Soup_Cans
- bingbingbing777 2y agoThat's not an advertisement. Irrelevant.
- antonyt 2y agoI hate ads, but I'm struggling to understand how something being an ad disqualifies it from being art. Advertising is a creative human endeavor. Ads are designed to make you feel something, just like art.

- throwaway743 2y agoAt their core, their for commercial/promotional purposes. Ads are inherently meant to drive consumerism, where as art is not.
- skywhopper 2y agoSome ads clearly are art. Speaking of Apple, their 1984 ad was very much a work of art. Things can have more than one meaning and purpose.

- seti0Cha 2y agoThe romantic ideal is that art is not about consumption, but the reality, both historically and currently, is that art objects are by and large made to be bought and sold. If you disqualify all works meant for consumption, you would have very little left that we currently recognize as art.
- ZoomZoomZoom 2y agoCitation needed. In my experience, most artists create to satisfy the inner urge and then hope to sell it. > you would have very little left that we currently recognize as art. What's the problem with that?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> romantic ideal is that art is not about consumption I believe this comes from the Church having been a major sponsor of art in the West for centuries.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_art There are a long list of arts with adjectives in front of them. commercial art, applied art, fine art, etc...they aren't art just because you have co-opted art to mean only fine art.

- firebat45 2y agoPlenty of artists make art for commercial purposes. In fact, that's kind of the dividing line between "professional" and "amateur" artist.
- splatzone 2y agoAds can absolutely be art though - consider the poster for Le Chat Noir. Millions of art prints sold https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/prints/person/42321/le-chat-noir?v=1 https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/en/prints/person/42321/le-chat-...
- marcosdumay 2y agoEverything is art. You can't do something that isn't.

- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoArt and design exist ubiquitously in all things and all actions. It is the people without taste who pretend art or design is a separate activity from all other human endeavors. Perhaps a subset of "pure" or obvious art are works devoid of function except to be perceived. "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." - Cesar A. Cruz
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoAdvertisement is art, by almost every definition of art. Of course, it might not be fine art, but there is plenty of art that isn't.
