Question:

What defines a fine art (painting, film, etc.)?

Is the independent thing or anti-mainstream/hollywooish thing?
What are the real attributes of a real fine art product.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

That it is not made for profit or for huge quantities. That it contains a personal expression of the author.
That it contains some sort of an idea, for example classical paintings - to represent the painted object as realistically as possible//modern paintings - to represent an idea, a philosophy, maybe a criticism of society...
