There’s a whole phony language associated with the contemporary art world. The corrupted Postmodern academic model of serious art making has schooled everyone to use convoluted, obscure language to explain and justify whatever piece of junk or propaganda or junky propaganda the artist chooses to present. “Art is whatever you can get away with,” is a quote attributed to appropriated art icon Andy Warhol.
However, there is a vocabulary of art which does have practical worth: the descriptors for the elements of art. Key quote from the article:
The elements and principles of art and design are the foundation of the language we use to talk about art. The elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition. These are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space.
The principles of art represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create an effect and to help convey the artist’s intent. The principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety. The use of these principles can help determine whether a painting is successful, and whether or not the painting is finished.

Someone bought the Coke commercial?
No not the coke commercial (I screwed up) this: https://www.economist.com/
I screwed that up too. A French artist sold somebody nothing but air.
The invisible sculpture that just sold? That needs to be addressed for sure, thanks!
