Is advertising art? Is art ever advertising?

That was an interesting perspective. Prior to listening to it, I would have argued that some of the best advertising is so because of its art. However, now I’m undecided. Some very good points in there.

I think there is clearly a distinction between art and advertising in their purest forms. However, I cringe at the thought of each being exclusive. At art’s foundation are creativity and passion, which ultimately give advertising its vitality. I feel that the further advertising gets from art, the more benign the work can become. The beauty of advertising is that it is an arena where art can operate within constraints in order to meet goals and objectives. Great topic!
