Is graphic novels considered art?

Graphic novels are absolutely art. They often showcase the artist's talent in drawing, as well as the author's creativity in crafting a story. The visual impact and the depth of the narrative contribute to their artistic value.

In general, no. True art is often about expressing human experiences, emotions, and ideas in a more profound and positive way. Graphic erotic novels, which center around sexual themes, are more about titillation rather than artistic expression. However, the definition of art can be subjective, but from a general social and cultural perspective, they are not considered art.

I would say that in a strict sense, if a 'lewd' graphic novel has some elements of unique drawing styles, creative panel layouts, and attempts to tell a story (even if that story is often centered around inappropriate themes), it could potentially have some artistic elements. But overall, the presence of lewd content makes it difficult to be fully accepted as a pure form of art in the general art community. For example, compare it to a graphic novel like 'Bone' which is widely praised for its artistry and storytelling without relying on lewdness.

Yes, some may consider sexually graphic novels as art. Art is often about expressing human experiences, and sex is a part of human nature. If these novels are created with an intention to convey a deeper meaning about human sexuality, relationships, or emotions, they can be seen as art. However, it's a very controversial topic as many people also object to it based on moral and ethical grounds.

Most definitely not. Art is about expressing emotions, ideas, and cultural significance. Hentai graphic novels are just a form of pornographic media. Real art in the graphic novel world can be seen in works like 'Persepolis' which uses the medium to share a personal and political story. Hentai has no such redeeming qualities and should not be confused with art.

Yes, they should. Graphic novels combine visual and narrative elements to tell powerful stories and express creativity, which is a hallmark of art.

Well, graphic novels are seen as art because they offer a creative expression that combines illustrations and text. They can convey complex emotions, ideas, and themes, just like other forms of art.

Graphic sex novels are not typically considered a form of art. True art aims to elevate the human spirit, evoke deep emotions, and offer new perspectives. While these novels deal with sexuality, they often do so in a crass and unrefined way. They lack the elements such as beauty, symbolism, and intellectual depth that are essential for something to be considered art. Instead, they tend to be more about titillation than true artistic expression.

Yes, they can be considered a form of art. Just like other forms of visual storytelling, they use the medium of graphics to convey certain ideas, emotions, and stories. However, the erotic aspect makes them a controversial form of art as they often deal with sexual themes that some people find inappropriate.

This is a controversial topic. However, in general, most mainstream society does not consider adult erotic graphic novels as art. True art usually conveys positive values, emotions, and profound meanings, while such novels mainly focus on sexual content which goes against the common moral and ethical standards of art.
