Art galleries? The art world? These are pretty universal terms and they refer to the system of museums, art fairs, galleries, etc. that have nothing to do with commercial illustrations.


The book illustrator is an artist who works in publishing, the art gallery painter is an artist who participates in the "fine art" world.

I've never heard these terms used like you are using them.

I didn’t invent the term.


"Art world" is a term connected to "fine art" not "art" or "artists". That's where we disagree.
