Girl You've Got Style

What does "Stylized" mean in art???

sty‧lized also stylised British English

Means drawn, written, or performed in an artificial style that does not look natural or real, but that is still pleasant to look at.

One of the fundamental properties of visual art is the degree to which it is realistic or stylized. The less a work of art resembles something in the physical world, the more stylized it is.

Realism vs. Stylization

Related Terminology

Art that resembles nothing in the physical world is called abstract, while art that portrays something recognizable (however distorted) is called representational. One may also distinguish between narrative art (which tells some kind of story) and decorative art (which does not). While a decorative work can be either abstract or representational, a narrative work must be representational.
