looked at Wikipedia - they relate to the Fine Art in general, everything, including conceptual and performance

Marta, interesting, and you know who wrote and who is editing Wikipedia? You would be very surprised.

dedulya37 right shifted arts, as well as in the Italian belle arti.
Since the English term, we must seek an explanation in English, that's the most accurate, in my opinion.

Fine art: art created for purely aesthetic expression, communication, or contemplation. Painting and sculpture are the best known of the fine arts.

That's for me here are two key words: aesthetic and contemplation.
Ie art that delight the eye with its perfection.

The term Salon, in general, and probably only exists in our country and in France, Italy, I have not heard anything like this, check with the wife, he said - what a beauty - a beauty salon or saloon cars ?
