What is pure art?

Pure art refers to painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry.

Nowadays, pure art not only refers to traditional plastic arts such as painting, sculpture and printmaking, but also includes new art forms such as photography and conceptual art.

Pure art works become pure art because the word "pure" shows the relative independence of this art. Pure art sculpture can express the beauty of human body and explore the language of sculpture art itself, but the expression of money and commercial culture has been despised by pure art sculpture for thousands of years.

In short, today's pure art basically refers to visual art.
