Within the world of the visual arts，people still make distinctions between “fine arts” and everything else—and it gets really confusing，at times.For instance，we'll talk about painting and sculpture，and automatically consider these as fine arts.The decorative arts，which are，sometimes，of a finer nature and craftsmanship than fine arts，are not called “fine”．

　　Additionally，visual artists sometimes refer to themselves as fine artists，as opposed to commercial artists.But some commercial art is really wonderful—“fine” I would say.It would really simplify matters if we could all just stick with visual，auditory，performance or literary—when we speak of the arts—and remove “fine” altogether.

　　Notes：

　　craftsmanship n．技艺　②auditory adj.听觉的

　　长短句分析：It would really simplify matters if we could all just stick with visual，auditory，performance or literary—when we speak of the arts—and remove “fine” altogether.

　　句法点睛：这是个主从复合句，It would really simplify matters为主句，if引导的是条件状语从句，其中含有一个时间状语从句when we speak of the arts。

　　句意：艺术将真得让事情简单化，如果我们只局限于视觉、听觉、表演或文学——当我们谈到艺术的时候——并且彻底将“精细”划分从我们的观念中清除。
