Critiquing art critics

Analyzing art critique

On the one hand you are talking about art as the derivative of processed and refined spontaneous inspiration, which is in turn, the source of all creativity. On the other hand you are analyzing works of art that one might intuitively sense that were probably created in that very manner, as if they were to reflect deliberate mathematical precision in terms of composition, petty meticulousness in terms of texture and scientifically strict fixations in terms of color schemes, which are all together somewhat detached from reality.

Synthesizing art critics

And so, all the above factors you calculate into one intricate axiomatic equation and claim that this was actually the artist’s intention. Then you rank by grades the extent of consistency and subordination to all these iron-rules, which unequivocally indicate that the more the work is fixated into your stigmas and angular thought patterns, the higher artistic quality it manifests.

And in short, a “true artist” to you, is one who is consciously or unconsciously reflecting your fixations and fears – reflecting the fact that actually you yourselves don’t have the faintest idea of what art is, and that a master piece is at best a true artist who creates from his heart and the center of his mind, and then lies about it just so you give your approval to the fact, that who and what he is, as God Created him, is in fact proper. Oh, well…

I, the art critics’ critic!

Million people criticize – million minds infinitely heaped with opinions and perceptions, and you really think that at the time of creation – which is of course supposed to be spontaneous and inspirational – the artist was wide and open to the extent as to contain all that awareness???
Are you talking about Divinity? Because only God or a Buddha can contain the mind of another being in it’s totality, not to talk about 2, 10 or a million of these minds, of all their numerous nuances of accumulated perceptions, impressions and experiences.

But if you’re talking about a human who happens to be an artist also, then no – it is not possible – because if I can’t do it, then let alone could Picasso.

It is time for us to decide already what art is – to us or objectively all together – or just leave it alone.
