by OSU Special Collections & Archives Question by Persona Delusion: Is illustration can been seen as “fine art” and separate from graphic design? Many people say that illustration isn’t fine art but a commercial art. However, I have seen famous illustrations in art galleries and consider to be a fine art. Many famous painters did illustrations. So, I’m asking that can illustrations can been seen as “fine art” and separate from graphic design. Thank you. Best answer: Answer by Matty BI really don’t think it matters either way. We get too caught up in labels. Is digital painting still considered painting?

Nothing more. What do you think? Answer below!   by OSU Special Collections & Archives   Fine Art – Tweet it!  ...
