ART CRITICISM PAPER

Art critic PAPER "Grafin von Schonfeld and her daughter" Author: Art of Arizona Museum, Art Pfeifer Paintings Gallery Displays College Elizabeth Louise Vigee-LeBlanc. Most of these paintings are portraits of celebrities and not famous people. They were painted by decent American artists from various European countries from the mid-1700s to the early 1900s. Elizabeth Louis Vijay - Le Brun 's painting attracted my attention and fascinated me to observe the composition carefully.

As a literary style, art criticism gained modern forms in the 18th century. UK painter Jonathan Richardson used the word art critique for the first time in "Review of the Whole Art Paper" published in 1719. In this work, he tried to establish an objective system for ranking of works of art. Seven categories including painting, composition, invention, and coloring combine scores from 0 to 18 and combine them to give the final score. The words he introduced soon became more important in the acquisition of their arts, especially as the UK middle class symbolizes the status as a social position

In the mid-20th century, art historians accepted social history in an important way. The goal is to show how art interacts with the power structure in society. An important way used by art historians is Marxism. The history of Marxist art shows how the art is related to a particular class, how the image contains information about the economy, and how the image makes the situation appear more natural (ideology) . Perhaps the most famous Marxist is Clement Greenberg who emphasized his article "Avant-garde and poor behavior" in the late 1930s. In this article, Greenberg insists that avant - garde is not to lower the taste associated with consumer society but to observe aesthetic standards, and to consider kitsch and art as the opposite. Greenberg argues that avant - garde art and modernism art is a means of resisting the cultural balance created by capitalist propaganda.

Like Greenberg, Arthur Danto is a domestic art critic. However, Danto publicly criticized Greenberg's ideology and its impact on modern and contemporary art. He has a common influence including phenomenologist Maurice Merlot · Ponty, but he is not a follower of Harold Rosenberg. The main contribution to Danto's contemporary art is the promotion of popular artists, especially Andy · Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. At the end of art, Danto believes that society as a whole accepts and accepts art, and art is no longer a linear one classified by exercise. Instead, each viewer has one or two theories explaining the work, the main task of the art institution is to develop, test and modify various interpretation methods. Thus, the difference between art and philosophy is small. After confusing decades over the correct interpretation of art, Danto basically approved each method and the system that produced it.
