design is not art; it's merely decorative or has a function, stands in the clutch of mercantiles and rejoices in the basics of communication theory and research. design exists because we have to sell things to stay alive.
the bauhaus plan failed. it created a fathomless pit between the castle and the plains. we have to thank them for that. Before them you could not tell what art was not because there was only art and it was getting too political. Politics are not the best thing humans can do. Presently, art is reinforced universally by its split from other practices with group-lead objectives.
art stands above massified false concepts from design and ideology and you can only grasp it individually as a "thing". Good art is sublime. In this sense, there is no communication whatsoever, which tells us Kant is right so far.
Of course, both things can be done by the same person, but art is much more difficult.
