This book makes the case that Her Secret Is Patience by Janet Echelman is a work of art. Suppose that, instead of hanging in a public place, this work were part of a corporate logo or a backdrop for an advertising campaign. Would it still be a work of art, in your opinion? Why or why not?

The artistic value is lost because it disappears the subjectivity of the artist.

Explanation:

In this case, we are talking about a fusion of design and art that are in contrast. Design is objective; its primary function is motivation and communication.

On the other hand, art is a reflection of the personal feelings of the artist, and each work aims to convey the message in its way. Also, the artist has a natural talent; the designer refines himself by becoming skilled. Because of all of the above, we cannot speak of a work of art in this case.
