Abstract:

Abstract: Victorian art critic and historian Vernon Lee is best known for her theory of empathy, which attributes art viewers' consciously held aesthetic preferences to unconsciously felt physiological responses to visual stimuli. Scholars have been especially interested in the ways empathy anticipates modernist and New Critical emphases on objectivity and empiricism, often treating empathy as the culmination of Lee's career. This article turns to lesser-known texts by Lee to show that she went on to have serious misgivings not only about her own physiological theory of aesthetics but about other critics' pursuits of objectivity and empiricism as well.

Abstract:

This article examines theoretically and empirically a central question in the sociology of art: the role of art critics and their influence on artists, art works, and art publics. The study compares two taste subcultures: the artistic tastes of professional theater critics and the lay public. It is based on empirical research on critics' and publics' assessments and reactions to theatrical productions in Israel over a period of half a century, from 1918 to 1968. These differential reactions are described and explained in terms of three variables: the type of publication in which the plays were reviewed (mass versus elite publications), the historical time-period (the pre-statehood versus the post-statehood era), and the type of play presented (specifically Jewish versus non-Jewish plays). Patterns of agreement and disagreement among the critics, and between the critics and the larger public are described and analyzed. The article concludes with a discussion of the changes in the roles of critics and in the functions of the theatrical institution, which are examined in relation to Israel's changing political, demographic, and social settings from 1918 to 1968.

Abstract:

Art critics has become a way to reveal and appreciate content lies behind its appearences. Thus signified an important role on reading an art work by analyze the reasoning behind the artworks, through the artist statement, intention and the translation on relating medium. The process of reasoning require several steps which enhance the art critic's methods. On this case , a method of Feldman' art critics has been applied to anaylize an installation work of Tisna Sanjaya – “32 Tahun Berpikir dengan Dengkul”. Feldman theory divide art critics method into four steps: description, formal analysis, interpretation and evaluation. This analysis require contextual reading due the impact of this art works into social, politic relation outside the artworld itself. Tisna's work has become one pioneer on installation artwork in Bandung, which also has a significance role of enggaging public reaction which create a paradoxes. Further more, provoke the government security (Satpol PP) to burn this artwork in Babakan Siliwangi as well as his other works "Doa untuk yang Mati”.

Abstract:

Summary Lithuanian art studies as an independent branch of science began to take shape in the First Republic of Lithuania between year 1918 and 1940. During 22 years in a multinational free state, it followed a winding path of mastery, professionalism, and the formation of a critic’s thought. However, if the origins, development, and forms of interwar Lithuanian art studies already are being explored, the Jewish art studies are still waiting for its first investigations. The purpose of this article is to broaden the scope of Lithuanian art research by incorporating the layers of interwar Jewish art studies conducted in the Yiddish language. Using the combined methodology of research as method of source studies, the aspects of social history of art and the comparative method, the Jewish art studies were analysed as a specific phenomenon which functioned alongside Lithuanian art studies. Throughout this research, over 1,000 Yiddish publications were reviewed to find the answers to the never previously discussed questions – how many Jewish art historians and critics contributed articles to the Yiddish press, what kind and quality of publications about Jewish art were featured, what aspects of Jewish art, artists, and society did Jewish art critics emphasise, and what kind of relationship existed among art critics, artists and public. The article also encompasses the short biographies of the most prominent Jewish authors in the field of art criticism.

This article on ir-relevance of Art criticism and its perpetrators, the maligned re-viewers, explores how close Kurt Schwitter`s points of reference here are aligned to ANTOA, the New Theory of Art. Schwitters (pronounce Sh-wit-ash) as main exponent of Hannover`s circle of avantgarde artists in interregnum between World War I and II (ca 1920 to 1939), was an accomplished yet often misunderstood creator, busy in fields of painting, sculpting, graphic design and literature. Furthermore the link between Schwitter`s influential quote on the value of „Abstract Non-Art“ and 1950ies/60ies phenomena of theatrical performance are investigated. This as much as application of points 3 – old make new, 4 – abstraction, where does it come from and where does it lead to?and 5 – message and symbolism, in relation to ANTOA, come under the spotlight.I begin with an imaginary question from my series ROLE OF ARTIST IN SOCIETY, 24 INTERVIEWS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to show the agreement of Camus and Aristotle on the cultural function of the art community (the community of artist and audience), in particular their criticism of what should be called barbarian or nihilistic practices of art. Camus' art and criticism have been frequent targets of modern critics, but his point is and would be that such critics have the wrong idea of the purpose of art. His answer to such critics and the parallelism of his ideas with Aristotle's criticism of barbarian culture, show that the real issue between Camus and his critics is cultural.

Art critic Jerry Saltz is regarded as a pioneer of online art criticism by the mainstream press, yet the Internet has been used as a platform for art discussion for over 30 years. There have been studies of independent print-based arts publishing, online art production and electronic literature, but there have been no histories of online art criticism. In this article, the author provides an account of the first wave of online art criticism (1980–1995) to document this history and prepare the way for thorough evaluations of the changing form of art criticism after the Internet.

Abstract:

The article deals with the general educational and special function of the discipline “Psychology of Art” in the system of training art historians. It is proved that this discipline is a part of critical theories, propaedeutic for producing a critical attitude to both aesthetic experience and the usual forms of expression of this experience. Thus, the discipline compensates for shortcomings in the philosophical education of art critics and introduces the principles of constructing a theoretical system as a multiple introduction of new forms of reflection. The historical approach to reading the discipline never contradicts these projects of systematization. The study of the discipline allows students to form the experience of independent research, the fitness to find a theoretical productivity in prominent works on the theory and history of art, and finally, to formulate the problem not as a result of aesthetic experience or individual procedures of knowledge, but as an effect of accepting art as a dynamic system for evaluating and qualifying objects, processes, and actions.

Abstract:

Theatre historians often turn to art history, not only for information about source images that can help with the speculative reconstruction of lost performances, but also for lessons in historiographic method. Historians from both disciplines have long shared the difficulties of ‘ekphrasis’, i.e. the translation of nondiscursive images into descriptions, and vice versa, as well as other vexing problems of general history like periodization, documentation of events, and so on. Unlike theatre history, art history has a recognized pantheon of interpreters, which has been subjected to overview studies like Michael Podro'sThe Critical Historians of Artas well as specific treatments of major critics and their influence, like Michael Ann Holly's work on Panofsky. Theoretical concerns about historiography, sometimes assumed by literary critics of ‘master narratives’ to be synonymous with postmodernism, developed somewhat earlier in art historical writing, which would appear to be an advantage.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to identifying the analytical scheme used by film critic Yevgeny Gusyatinsky in reviews for the printed version of Cinema Art Journal. The review of domestic publications, which are focused on various aspects of the film review genre, is followed by a constructive analysis of the texts by E. Gusyatinsky, carried out in accordance with the methodology developed by S.Yu. Schtein. The film critic's reviews of feature films published in Cinema Art Journal are successively analyzed, and each text's key principles of construction are formulated. The systematization of the analytical models used allows us not only to conclude that there is a more or less unified scheme for analyzing the film used by the author but also to continue the study on a larger scale, identifying the schemes used by other film critics and comparing them.

Abstract:

<p>Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, American memorable novelists have had philosophic ideas about modernity. In fact their idea about existential interests of American, and the effects of American system on society, is mirrored in their creative works. All through his early works, Fitzgerald echoes the existential center of his era. Obviously, we recognize Hemingway’s vision of modernity in formation of his own philosophies of life, death, and art in what is known as Hemingway’s characteristic philosophy, Code, and Code Heroes. In this article, among the numerous characteristics illuminating these two writer’s vision of America, the main themes of their foremost works have been analyzed with regard to some Critic’s viewpoints regarding these two, literary masters. Critics see Fitzgerald both as a chronicler, and a perceptive social critic who is totaling the “dilemmas of philosophy” in his art. Indeed, what in American critics’ view is a fatalistic philosophy, with the darker side of life, existentialist critics consider as a prophetic optimism and an absurdist vision that places Hemingway in the ranks of a “guide “prophet of those who are without faith”.</p>

Abstract:

Abstract One of the most important tests through which the cultural vitality of an artistic community can be examined is art criticism. Art criticism has the role of analysis, interpretation and evaluation of artworks, having important responsibilities to the public interested in the visual artistic phenomenon and also to the evolution of artistic taste. The comments of art critics have managed to provoke public debates on art-related issues or have effectively contributed to the reception and promotion of artworks. The art critic creates a connection between the artworks exhibited in galleries or museums and the public who appreciate the aesthetic value of the works, in terms of explaining the context and the artistic phenomenon, so as to outline the communication between artists, critics and viewers, from the perspective of dynamics of new structures and forms of visual expression. In this context, the public formed through the visual education can be prepared and opened in receiving the aesthetic message of artworks.

Full text

Abstract:

This article focuses on artistic and aesthetic practices within the idealist and symbolist movements of the late 19th century in France. It investigates how artists and art critics embraced androgynous imaginaries derived from Greco-Roman antiquity and the Platonic myth, transforming them into tools for social and sexual emancipation and giving rise to a proto-queer vision. An analysis of the art of Alexandre Séon, Odilon Redon, Jeanne Jacquemin, and Léonard Sarluis, in conjunction with the symbolist theories of Joséphin Péladan, Gabriel-Albert Aurier, and Émile Verhaeren, reveals an idealistic pursuit grounded in the union of the masculine and the feminine through the act of creation. Through the examination of artworks, contemporary critical discourse, and the personal correspondence of these art figures, this study posits that the androgyne serves as a heuristic model for a queer art history. The ideal androgyne, as theorized in Freud’s psychoanalytic writings, can function as a methodological paradigm in art studies as a tool for visualizing and conceptualizing homosexuality in art.

Scott was deemed “world-class” and “ sexy” by his reviewer, while food critic Joanne Kates was called “a star” by hers; art critic John Bentley Mays was granted to be “brilliant” if “often dead wrong.” And the theatre critics? Well, the theatre critics didn’t fare so well.

Abstract:

Forming the character of a student who has a critical nature towards various issues of art and how to understand, respond and provide comments on the works of art they encounter, can be started through Art Criticism courses taught at universities. Basically, the knowledge about art criticism obtained by students can be used as a bridge between artists as creators of works of art and critics as reviewers, so that a dialogue occurs between works of art created by artists and observers (appreciators). The Art Criticism course not only provides a theoretical basis for the concept of Art Criticism but shapes a student's attitudes, behavior and mindset. This is a capital investment to prepare students to start activities in their lives after studying at university. Through the integration of the experience, skills and knowledge they have acquired, students can develop themselves to become art observers or art critics. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of the Art Criticism textbook with the criteria for a good textbook prepared by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The product evaluated in this research is teaching material in the form of an Art Criticism textbook. The Art Criticism course is one of the mandatory courses for students of the Fine Arts Education study program, FSD Fine Arts Education study program, Makassar State University. This research evaluates the teaching materials of the Art Criticism textbook and then measures the appropriateness of the content, appropriateness of presentation, language and source material.

Abstract:

Abstract This article seeks to reconstruct a central claim of Theodor W. Adorno’s Aesthetic Theory, namely, that art is simultaneously autonomous and socially conditioned. The thesis of art’s “double character” is often misunderstood, especially by critics who wish to fault Adorno for his retreat into socially indifferent aestheticism. But his actual view was that art can remain art only if it is responsive to human suffering. For Adorno, it is only by virtue of its relative autonomy that art can address social suffering and sustain a critical posture toward the world.

Yes, education is a national issue, but it is also a danger.

This is dreadful. Poor young people! What they have to go through because of these books! They are trained like performing animals. (Unamuno, 1993, p.42) There are two things I cannot stand: pedagogy and sociology. The former must be replaced by art and the latter by history. (Unamuno, 1993, p. 42)

Abstract:

This paper explores the work of Pauline Thompson (1942-2012), an Auckland based artist who painted throughout her adult life. Although she received local critical acclaim for her work in a ‘Pop Art Idiom’ in the 1960s, as Pauline’s work shifted to a more ‘metaphysical’ style she arguably became less fashionable. This paper considers the reception of her work by art critics, the context in which she was creating her work, and the general discourse of art critics in Aotearoa over the period of her career. Pauline’s own writings and discourse on her practice are interpolated into the discussion. This paper was first presented at the conference of PHANZA (Professional Historians Aotearoa New Zealand Association) in 2019, and following feedback, has been developed into this article. The author knew Pauline Thompson personally, and interweaves informal discussions she had with the painter into this narrative.

Abstract:

Abstract Just over a decade-and-a-half ago, a roundtable discussion published in the pages of October worried that the periodic renewal of critical discourses had slowed to a standstill and that art criticism was faced with obsolescence. Such an obsolescence should be understood in a broadly Hegelian manner: the danger is not that art criticism would disappear from the cultural field, but that it will continue—although drained of its previous necessity. Such fears perhaps run the risk of exaggeration, yet this article shall suggest that there seems a sense in which the field of art criticism has contracted in recent years. Self-reflexivity in art and the popularization of “para-curatorial” approaches, for instance, often underpin the artwork discursively before the arrival of art criticism upon the scene. To be sure, such circumstances are viewable positively as interdisciplinary dialogical opportunities, but the negative flipside here is that art criticism’s potential contribution becomes increasingly minimized. From another angle, critics such as Isabelle Graw have contended that the economic-cultural regime of post-Fordism, with its attention on intellectual labor and knowledge production, might actually hold possibilities for the contemporary art critic—but even here, I argue, art criticism becomes contracted, albeit in the other meaning of the word.

Abstract:

As in neoliberal market theory, where maximal information is said to make markets more efficient, what Joselit calls “Conceptual art of the press release” (in which the artwork is “translated” into text as a proposition about its meaning) makes even difficult art easy to consume. The once radical proposal of Conceptual art—that objects exist in a transactional relation with text (and prosaic photographic documents)—has now become business as usual. But this is not merely the result of the now-standard practice of training artists in MFA programs, where learning consists of verbally justifying one's artworks before a cohort of peers and artist-instructors, nor the demands of a global and increasingly virtual art market. It is also a condition of today's academic practice in which art history is little more than the weaving together of primary and secondary sources that “historicize” and “theorize” objects without attending to them specifically. The current challenge for artists and critics is not to forego engaging with information, but rather to resist the allure of its transparency in favor of tracking its plasticity—in other words, the shapes of social governance and aesthetic speculation that its myriad overlapping channels assume.

Abstract:

The introductory essay places “The True Meaning of the Work of Saturnino Herrán: The False Critics” (1920), a piece of early criticism written by the Guatemalan artist Carlos Mérida during the first year he lived in Mexico City, within the contexts of the cosmopolitan milieu of post-Revolutionary Mexico and the artist's own trajectory. It suggests that the text both demonstrates intellectuals’ interest in questions of form and national art and Mérida's desire to provide a critical framework for his own paintings of indigenous Guatemalan and Mexican women. In “The True Meaning of the Work of Saturnino Herrán: The False Critics,” Mérida lashed out at Mexican critics for praising Herrán as the best and most Mexican painter of the time, arguing, instead that the realism and sentimentalism of Herrán's paintings dishonored national themes by presenting them as picturesque stereotypes. Published in the widely-read magazine El Universal Ilustrado, the text attacks Herrán's paintings and the critics who praise them while also arguing that the predominance of the artist is symptomatic of the predominant problem of the literary nature of Mexican artists’ engagement with autochthonous art and culture.

Abstract:

The great Japanese pictorial arts retrospective held in Paris in 1890 drew considerable attention from critics. By examining press reviews, this article aims to clarify how the critics responded to the exhibition and Japanese prints. Many reviewers expressed favorable opinions of the exhibition, describing the characteristics of Japanese art and notable painters such as Hokusai, Hiroshige, and Utamaro as well as the so-called “primitive artists.” However, there was also harsh criticism of Japonisme and Japanese art, which is discussed here as well. Writers such as Teodor de Wyzewa, Edmond Pottier, and Jacques Tasset published original studies on the Japanese pictorial arts. Their writings will likewise be analyzed in order to present the wide variety of reactions in the critical sphere.

Abstract:

The opening of the Venice Biennale in 1895 provided an unprecedented occasion to bring international art to the Italian public. It thus enabled intellectuals, art critics and the wider public to see and judge national productions side by side. This paper proposes to look at the way biases developed along with the Biennale – in relation to the peculiar political situation in Europe. By looking at articles written by leading Italian art critics on newspapers and magazines such as Emporium, Fanfulla della Domenica, Il Marzocco or Illustrazione italiana, the paper will show that art often served as a pretext for a political analysis which ultimately pointed to the rising conflict between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente.

Abstract:

Abstract Anglo-American New Criticism was one of the most important movements in the twentieth century literary theories. It stressed the objectivity of a literary work of art and claimed that literary critics as well as teachers should concentrate, primarily, on the text, its linguistic structures and the ambiguities of meaning resulting from them, and only secondarily on the text´s extraliterary relationships. After the New Critics´ popularity in the early decades of the last century, in its second part they were refused as pure formalists, supposedly unable to see the real nature of a literary work in its social circumstances. The article attempts to reassess New Criticism as a movement which contributed significantly to the reading and teaching literature and claims that their importance has not diminished even in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

In a recently published “one-act play,” Norman Denzin alleges that I and others have misinterpreted the kind of qualitative inquiry he promotes and are insufficiently open-minded. In response, I argue that he positions his critics via a modernist notion of resisting progress that is rhetorically illegitimate, and obscures and misrepresents their arguments, partly through use of the play format. I insist that research is a distinct form of activity, different in character from both art and politics, and that pursuing one under the auspices of another is unethical.

Full text

Abstract:

The influence of the critic V. P. Burenin on the public life of the 1860s — 1880s is great: his popularity was comparable to that of V. G. Belinsky in the 1840s. According to B. B. Glinsky, everyone has secretly read Burenin's feuilletons, even those who despised the newspaper Novoe Vremya (New Time) and personally hated its critical columnist for the sharpness and rudeness of his polemical style. The article examines the evolution of the critic's views of F. M. Dostoevsky’s work and his role in Russian journalism and literature. In the initial period of his activity, V. P. Burenin tended to adhere to common moods and assessments, and scolded Dostoevsky. Gradually, he realized the scale of Dostoevsky's writing gift. Already a famous and influential author of the Novoe Vremya (New Time), V. P. Burenin became a great admirer, friend and defender of the writer. He was one of the few critics who appreciated the Writer's Diary. After Dostoevsky's death, Burenin maintained good communication with the writer's widow. Their correspondence makes it clear that A. G. Dostoevskaya considered Burenin her colleague in preserving the legacy of her late husband. The letters contain previously unknown information, namely, that the correspondence of the Novoe Vremya (New Time) about the fire in Staraya Russa were penned by A. G. Dostoevskaya herself, as well as some other information about Dostoevsky and the fate of his legacy.

Abstract:

The use of metaphors in producing contemporary works of art is often used by artists to convey current ideas and issues in the era of contemporary visual art. The metaphor used is as a symbol for the meaning of a work in conveying the ideas and narrative of the story more creatively. In addition, the use of metaphors should be in line with the selection of subjects and meanings to be used and conveyed more accurately and effectively in the production of works to be seen and studied by art critics.

Abstract:

A central theme of this article is the developing tension between art specialists and non-specialists as a function of complex, differentiated figurations. Bourdieu’s sociology of symbolic revolutions is allied to Elias’s model of the relative autonomy of the artistic figurations within lengthening relations of interdependencies and shifting cognitive-emotional tension balances of feeling and reasoning and spontaneity and self-restraint. Within the sociology of art, the field positionings, power, interdependencies, language and habitus of art critics remain a relatively underdeveloped area of enquiry. Art critics function as ‘professional explicators’ in Bourdieu’s terms or ‘specialists in verbalisation’ in Elias’s to communicate standard-setting models of value and taste of specialists to non-specialists. Clement Greenberg emerged as a socially mobile oblate from a position of artworld outsider to hegemonic dominance as the leading notable of Modernist art criticism. The article examines the social conditions of possibility for Greenberg’s standard-setting codes as they came to be established and sustained by particular figurations of people (a self-conscious avant-garde) at particular times (late 1930s–1970s) and places (New York).

Abstract:

This research aims to address the context of Art Criticism in the Sultanate of Oman by investigating and analyzing written criticism. The significance of the current research is that it summarizes the reasons behind the absence of a critical movement in the area of Fine Arts in Oman. This research tries to gather and review the writings in art criticism in order to propose improvement and project a future vision of the field. This research uses historical methods to trace the writings on art criticism, and descriptive analytical methods to describe and analyze the forms and contents of the critical writings that guided the fine art movement in Oman. This research proposes some recommendations such as the importance of promoting the culture of art criticism in Oman. Particularly, the study suggests that a group be formed to promote and disseminate the culture of the Visual Arts. It is also recommended that general and impressionistic writings on fine arts be avoided and replaced by more systematic and academically rigorous writings. The study recommended that both the researcher and the critic should be given more attention and that the media should play a role in promoting fine arts criticism by broadcasting specialized programs in this area. These programs should be presented by expert art critics. The study also recommends that fine art criticism be emphasized in fine art classes in schools in order to create a generation that is capable of appreciating and critiquing art.
