An etymologic fun-fact: the word живопись is made up from the two words живой (alive) and писать (to write). Roughly translates to; living writing? That is very cool.

What's the difference between Живопись and Искусство? I've only heard the latter until this lesson
My opinion is that paintings are considered "art," but the word "artwork" doesn't stop at fine art. For example, a kindergarten class drew pictures, and they were hung at the train station. This would be more properly called "artwork" rather than "art." This is only my opinion. My interpretation may be incorrect.
