Hi Terry, Gunnar,
Hope to get you both in the same answer later but since I have so little
time, first I would like to answer once more to the question "what would
design look like without art?"
I would say that Design would pretty much look like Margaret Thatcher,
whereas Design influenced by art looks like Nigella Lawson.
Greetings,
Eduardo
