I don’t know anything
about art but I know what I like.
From Barrett: When people talk about art, they tend,
unthinkingly, that everyone’s opinion is as good as everyone else’s. To dismiss a carefully thought out, backed by
evidence statement with “That’s just your opinion” is intellectually
irresponsible. (not that it should be accepted, but that it deserves a reasoned
response.)
It doesn’t matter what you say because it is all subjective
anyway. When discussing art. An extreme relativism that does not allow for
truth or falsity, or plausibility and reasonability, or for knowledge and
experience either
Critics are
knowledgeable, passionate, political, opinionated, enlightened, connoisseurs,
art does not speak for itself. A good critic makes arguments, not
pronouncements. Critics can also be about resistance, freedom, social justice,
rebellion, interpretation and promotion.
There are many models
of art criticism. Every time we, as
critics (connoisseurs, lovers of art), confront a work of art, I am looking for
something way beyond a simple pronouncement “I like it”, I am looking for a
vivid description, merging into an interpretation (including how it moved you),
an informed judgment, and some theory….how is it art? This means you are going
to be building a chair of your theory of art.

You don't just put a hoop dress on a black male body and go play basketball...And for me, it was really about roadblocks on every level-cultural, gender, racial...
