New work of art (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'new' is the first definition.
(I know that new can be written as novel)

'work of art' is the second definition.
'novel' can be an answer for 'work' (type of literary work). I am unsure of the 'of art' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for novel that I've seen before include "New and strange" , "Of a kind not seen before" , "Previously unknown" , "Innovative" , "Book of prose fiction" .)
