The category/type of art is intended for books that deal with visual arts. Visual arts are the creative expressions of visual artists, such as paintings, sculptures and drawings. Tribal art, which is usually made by unknown artists and craftsmen, can also be considered Art.

Other art forms, such as architecture, film, poetry and dance, have their own categories. If the product of another art form is usually shown in the context of visual arts, then it is called (visual) Art. This sometimes occurs in photography.

Applied art can in principle be placed under Design, but in some cases, according to prevailing social views, it is classified under Art. If the artist is also known as a creator of free work, then the Art category can be chosen in any case.

Instruction books for learning to draw and/or paint do not belong to art , but to hobby or study book ;
Books or magazines with nude photographs, which can be used by visual artists as study material, belong to nude photography and not to art (even though the word KUNST or ART is sometimes printed in large letters on them).
