Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Many billboards and magazine ads have resorted to showing isolated body parts rather than full-body portraits of models using or wearing products. This style of photography, known in the industry as abstract representation, allows the viewer to see himself in the advertisement, rather than the model.
There's been too much attention on marketing. Can't we just talk about the paintings?
A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.
People want to make a distinction between what's commercial and what's art.
Sometimes magnificent visual art takes root in the humblest of soils. Advertisements painted on old barns, tattoos, fruit crate labels, hot rod embellishments - all these media and many other non-galleried forms have hosted and fostered esthetic delights that satisfy any rigorous definition of art.
Advertising is the art of the tiny. You have to tell a complete a story and deliver a complete message in a very encapsulated form. It disciplines you to cut away extraneous information.
If advertising is not an official or state art, it is nonetheless clearly art.
I do not read advertisements. I would spend all of my time wanting things.
Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.
Every advertisement should be thought of as a contribution to the complex symbol which is the brand image.
