The Crisis of Criticism

0.0

Do critics grant cultural permission or is their work merely descriptive? Is some art beyond criticism? How can critics bridge the gap between a sometimes hermetic art community and the general public? THE CRISIS OF CRITICISM is a collection of brilliantly argued, provocative essays that address the issue of the critic's authority and responsibilities.This "collection offers the undeniable pleasure of reading intellectually stimulating arguments" (Kirkus Reviews) on the controversial nature of artistic criticism.
