this expression, which I've come across countless times, has always bothered me. After all, when would you ever say "Il lavoro va eseguito non a regola d'arte" ???

___________
The state of the art is the highest level of development, as of a device, technique, or scientific field, achieved at a particular time. It also applies to the level of development (as of a device, procedure, process, technique, or science) reached at any particular time usually as a result of modern methods.
The earliest usage of the term "state of the art" documented by the OED dates back to 1910 from an engineering manual by H.H. Suplee titled Gas Turbine. It reads, "In the present state of the art this is all that can be done."
