'Once upon a time there was pure art and applied art (I prefer to use these terms, rather than 'fine' and 'commercial' because 'commercial art' does not cover enough ground). At all events, forms were born in secret in ivory towers and fathered by divine inspiration, and Artists showed them only to initiates and only in the shape of paintings and pieces of sculpture: for these were the only channels of communication open to the old forms of art.'
-Munari, Bruno. (1966) Design as Art. Rome: Editori Laterza
