Info about a type of art (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

genre

'a type of art' is the definition.

'info about' is the wordplay.
'info' becomes 'gen' (informal term for information).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'gen'+'re'='GENRE'

(Other definitions for genre that I've seen before include "Category of literature" , "Artistic or literary category" , "Brand" , "Writing style" , "class" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
