Applied Art: Title page
In most cases there is no separate frontispiece, but the title page itself is embellished with some decoration. A separate category of these are the title pages designed by big names in art history, such as René Magritte, Man Ray, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. Their designs are often more original than the average decoration with garlands, but it remains applied art, in the sense that the visual design is combined with the title, the composer and the editor. The result may be a little more artistic than the usual editions, it still remains a practical object of use.
