I do not consider the criticism of one who has never been in contact with brush, colour palate and canvas in his life. Only artist deserve to express his opinion on others painted visual speech.
Today gallery culture becomes more critical than ever. Critic's use to play a jugglery of poetic words while commenting on a work of art, which is detached from reality.
the..... Beauty of brush which specify idiosyncrasy of its bristles (techniques)
and unbelievable dexterity of the brush of an artist (skill)
Potential of colour palate which defines the meaning of its emotions and feelings (visual sense)
Texture of a canvas which imbues with a sense of its purpose. (sight : look and touch : feel )
Art criticism searches an opportunity, accepting standards and ability to imagination related to aesthetics. Aesthetic is a discipline concerned with the perception, appreciation and production of art. Constructive criticism love and appreciate by all. True, genuine, appropriate and advisable, criticism inspires the artist confidence. Critic's task is to identify what is good and faithfully criticize and denounce the bad.
Critic's enrich their own perspective and support to the concerned.
Critic's also follow the mannered, kind attitude and behave politely, pleasantly with social grace to the respective artist.
Critics and observer should....
Listen genuinely to the observer and summarize your intent with constructive conversation so that observer should respond to an artist emotion.
If an observer nurture their potential of inner beauty (Compassion, forgiveness, generosity, integrity, courage, devotion, gratitude and creativity) will become mindful and may appreciate a work of art freely, kindly, honestly, cleverly, authentically, inventively, enthusiastically, faithfully and thankfully.
