This is a community for art in any medium. Welcome!

Rules:

  1. This is a community to discuss all things related to art. Posts should be relevant to art, such as sharing art or news about art. To clarify, when we say "any medium," this includes media such as painting, film, music, literature, performance, video games, etc.
  2. Keep things civil. Critiquing art is fine but attacking other users for their opinions is not.
  3. Avoid excessive self-promotion. Yes, this is subjective and will be based on how popular this community becomes overall. If you can see a post about your own work on the first few pages, don't post another.
  4. Follow site-wide rules

Is it true that art styles don't have names, only descriptions?

Can you give an example? This sentence is pretty nonsensical in its own.

For example, Bauhaus is a name of a kind of art, but it is not a description. In fact, it is the name of a place where the art style originated.

So maybe the answer is just, no.

Hmmm. A quick web search gives you at least 30 art style names.
