    We have a word for fake pictures: advertising.

      The first phrase is true.

      The second, I’m not sure. Some really talented artists have worked in advertisements for a long time, and many of their works are celebrated internationally. Alphonse Mucha is one name that quickly comes to mind - tell me his advertisement work isn’t art. You have probably seen more amateur ripoffs of his style in your life than the real deal.
