Photographers who shot 35mm...

Reading this thread responses makes me even more firm on my description. Fine art is a bogus term.
Jane Bown was taking portraits, not fine art. Klein - fashion commercials. Herzog - street photographer.
Here is no fine art, but landscapes, naturmorts, portraits, documentary, street and so on.

Fine-Art Photography: a photograph made to be sold. It exists for no other reason than to exist, vs a non-Fine-Art photograph which exists in reference to something else, be it to support an idea or to sell something.

There, a controversial and contentious answer to the meaning of the label "Fine-Art Photography".

So fine art does not exist? Or only fine art photography? And why?

My favorite portraitist of all time. I keep her book "Faces" on hand.
