I am looking for a word for "artful pictures". It includes:
- Paintings, sketches, drawings, etc.
- Artistic photography (e.g. this)
- Calligraphy
It does not include:
- Technical models, blueprints, graphs
- As-is photography meant to capture something objectively
- Anything in more than two dimensions, such as statues or video
- Literature, poetry
I could go either way on whether to include infographics or engravings. I would use the term for categorising a gallery of files that contains both art and non-art, and mostly in picture format. Some non-pictures are put in their own folders, but on the same level. So it would go:
- Gallery
- [word] (artful pictures)
- non-[word] (pictures that are not art)
- literature
- video
A short phrase is acceptable, as long as it sounds idiomatic.
