Hegel first classified five arts in Lectures on Aesthetics:
- Architecture
- Sculpture
- Painting
- Music
- Poetry
In 1911, Ricciotto Canudo wrote The Birth of the Sixth Art arguing that Cinema was #6; later he redefined dance as #6, making cinema the seventh art.
The term is much more common in French than in English today.
