裝飾藝術

时期），灰绿色釉]]

裝飾藝術是指为某些功能性物品设计装饰的艺术，它包括室内设计，但通常不包括建筑设计。在视觉艺术中，與绘画、素描、摄影，大型雕塑等藝術形式區分開來。美術與裝飾藝術的區別，通常在於美學意義的強弱；不過即使是普通藝術中，也常包含有裝飾藝術元素。因此對於伊斯蘭藝術及中國藝術等非西方文化藝術中，這種區分並不十分適用，欧洲中世纪美术亦然。

19世紀後半期爆發的唯美主義運動推動了裝飾藝術在歐洲的傳播，受藝術與工藝美術運動影響，提出在普通美術與裝飾藝術之間並沒有实质的區別。 受此影響，裝飾藝術得到了更高的地位與評價，这一点後來在法律上也有所體現。因為在1911年之前，一般的版權法案只規定不可未經允許抄錄傳統美術作品，這一年版權法案的頒佈使得法律對藝術的保護領域拓展到工藝領域，即把裝飾藝術當作以真正的藝術而不是設計。
