The concept of 'pure art' has deep roots in both Western and Brazilian artistic movements, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries. In Brazil, this philosophy influenced modernist movements and continues to define the work of contemporary artists who resist commercialization. In the USA, 'pure art' represents the ideal of artistic integrity and is often championed by galleries, museums, and art institutions that distinguish fine art from commercial design or advertising.
