Should credits about artists lending their works (NOT creating them for the movie) to be used as part of the set (i.e. in an art gallery set) be submitted to Art Department or Miscellaneous Crew? Thanks!

Should credits about artists lending their works (NOT creating them for the movie) to be used as part of the set (i.e. in an art gallery set) be submitted to Art Department or Miscellaneous Crew? Ah, painters and photographers, or graphics artists, namely? This is a good question if they're not credited. I guess it wouldn't hurt to find an appropriate occupation designation for their contributions to a given cinematic work, but I'm not sure what the designation would be. It's funny how this works, since a movie reference would be handled in the movie connections section, and there is another section for soundtracks, whereas there's no section for featured works of graphic art.
shareSounds like a Thanks credit, but it depends on the wording.
In this case the wording (translated as it's in Spanish movie) is "Works lent by the artists:"

It's an acknowledgement, so I would treat it as a Thanks credit.
Bump!
shareI would suggest Other Crew, since it isn't some done for the film. Title designers and poster artists(work done for the film), such as Saul Bass and(Mad Magazine) Jack Davis (VII) belong to the Art Department (credited or uncredited).
Bass is better know in the world of the IMDb, but as a poster artist (credited or uncredited)Davis did the posters on over 40 films, beginning with "Wee Gordie" in 1956 and
ending with 1980s "Heaven Can Wait." including "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad,Mad World" , "The Russians Are Coming", "The Producers", "Viva Bears" and "Bad News Bears." He also did the artwork on the press book covers , heralds and the print ads for newspapers and magazines.
Bass is noted primarily for his grounding-breaking title designs, but he also did artwork for a lot of the print items for many of those films. But, the Davis items, usually in the 'find-waldo'type' are a lot more fun to look at and will bring a dollar or two more than a Bass poster...unless the Bass poster is for a Hitchcock film.
For the OP's question, I would suggest Other Crew, but have no idea of the wording.
