- Can comics, manga and cartooning be fine art? In this video, I present a series of 47 international artists that do so. Most of these artists have been influenced by cartoons, manga, lowbrow art, Pop Surrealism and/or street art. They have used cartooning as a strategy to portray narratives, blend cultures and critique or comment on contemporary society.
In the video, I mention another video entitled “Lowbrow Art & Pop Surrealism Explained” at the 8m41s mark. That video can be found here: [ • Lowbrow Art & Pop Surr... ]

Unfortunately, I forgot to add Hikari Shimoda & Kayla Mahaffy.
In my humble opinion this type of cartoon/street/comic style of art is more fine art than modern fine art . This type of work speaks to me more than an Abstract painting
Great! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Much appreciated.
Is Abstract still contemporary? I haven't kept up. Some of it speaks to me. Some abstract work doesn't land at all with me.
It's still around, but merging with other styles.
I'm an artist who fuses comics and muralism with experience in the field and didn't know about several of these you mentioned. thanks for sharing this video, youtube recommended it to me!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's appreciated!
This is so great! I have learned so much. I appreciate your videos, surely this sort of thing is a must watch for people studying art and looking for fresh inspiration?
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
This is great!
Muchos Gracias!
Imagine a panel from Berserk (manga) or Shigurui (manga) blowup in a gallery. Definitely fine art.
Indeed!
Thanks!
You bet!
Take a look at the artist: Nelson Hernandez
I will have a look. Thanks!
I would love to see an animated children's movie of Travis Louie's artwork or maybe even a book!
Yeah, that would be cool!
Norman busse uses injections of comic characters and Manga in his art. Very cool stuff. He would be a cool interview
Thanks for that. Will check him out!
Valeu!
Thanks!
its not about wether a kid is doing fine art or comics.... it matters if they are good at what they do.
Thanks for the comment. Agree. But we all start out perhaps at not being very good.
What matters is that they're Doing It
@@FrankCurkovicwhat matters too is how much of it there is, if anybody can do it, is it really fine art or common?
Some is art most is tripe
To each their own I guess. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment!
Want to know the truth, manga and anime is fine art if your Japanese. Comic books and cartoon is consider fine art if you go to usa art school you can use it. It is due to personification and stuff
Thanks for the comment!
@frankcurkovic Seriously… do you not have 20 seconds for BIPOC artists? Women, asians represented but black and brown remain invisible, let alone lgbtqia peoples.
Hi, I'm more than happy to comply. After completing the video, I did discover Kayla Mahaffy, which I pinned as a comment. Feel free to provide some names and I will happily look into them! I look forward to hearing from you!
Sounds like that would be a cool focus for a part 2 to this vid.
Please, do feel fee to drop some names I should look into.
