El arte como oficio is an essay by the renowned artist and designer Bruno Munari, published in 1989 by Círculo de Lectores. In this book, Munari explores the nature of art and its relationship with craftsmanship, offering a unique perspective on creativity and the artistic process. Through his reflections, he invites the reader to reconsider the distinction between art and craft, highlighting the importance of skill, technique, and experimentation in artistic creation.
Bruno Munari was "one of the greatest actors of 20th-century art, design and graphics". He was an Italian artist, designer, and inventor who contributed fundamentals to many fields of visual arts in modernism, futurism, and concrete art, and in non-visual arts with his research on games, didactic method, movement, tactile learning, kinesthetic learning, and creativity. On the utility of art, Munari once said, "Art shall not be separated from life: things that are good to look at, and bad to be used, should not exist".
