The first video I chose was Greenberg on Art Criticism: An
interview by T.J. Clark. This was an interview with Clement Greenberg who advocated
for the old abstract expressionism. The various ways that art is analyzed and
criticized was discussed. What was also discussed misinterpretations as well.
The Critics was about how art criticism is perceived by the
public, and talked about the variety of criticism and the amount of weight that
is put on public perceptions. This video spoke in depth about how criticism
helps to show other explanations of art. This is not always on impulse, but it
is about facts, and feelings as well.
These videos both helped to discuss and interpret critics on
artwork. They also showed how knowledge and background information can help to
decipher between what is really art, and what is not. The biggest things that I
took away from the videos was how to give better feedback as a critic, and also
a better understanding on the fact that the opinion of others when compared to
your own greatly differs with art.
Overall, I think that the videos certainly added depth to my
understanding of criticism. What
is important to remember is that many criticisms are opunions, and they are
specific to the individual. What one viewer might love, the other may not,
depending on their life experiences, culture, and feelings. Critics do help to
benefit the art that they are critiquing.
