An art critic is a person who specializes in evaluating art. Their written critiques, or reviews, are published in newspapers, magazines, books and on web sites. Art collectors and patrons often utilize the advice of art critics as a way to enhance their appreciation of the art they are viewing. Typically the art critic views art at exhibitions, galleries, museums or artists' studios. Professional art critics are expected to have a keen eye for art and a thorough knowledge of art history. Knowledge, however, provides no guarantee that a critic will know if a work of art, an exhibition, or an artist will stand out in history as "great". The opinions of art critics has the potential to stir debate on art related topics. Due to this the viewpoints of art critics writing for art publications and newspapers adds to public discourse concerning art and culture. Today some art critics use art blogs and other online platforms in order to connect with a wider audience and expand debate about art. Many now famous and celebrated artists were not recognized by the art critics of their time, often because their art was in a style not yet understood or favored. Conversely, some critics, called militant critics have helped to explain and promote new art movements — Roger Fry with the Post-Impressionist movement for example. From Wikipedia under the

If you expect to expand your horizons, you should be able to endure some pretty harsh criticism. Otherwise, if you're not willing to allow different opinions than your own, you won't ever understand your audience and perhaps even your own works' affect on people. Answered by moore850 - Thu Jan 26 09:49:54 2006 Why art painters like Norman Rockwell or Frank Frazetta considered only "illustrators"?
Q. Rembrandt painted portraits for profit. Michelangelo did work for hire. So did virtually all famous artists at one time or other. Why is it that Rembrandt or DaVinci are considered true artists yet Rockwell only a mere "illustrator"? Renaissance painters painted similar themes and subject matter. They painted murals and portraits. They were all commercial artists. So why do art critics dislike Norman Rockwell, but accept the others? Tell me the distinction between illustrator and a "real" artist? Asked by Joe - Sat Jan 12 07:35:12 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. America's contribution to folk art is... commercial art. Rockwell's art was contrived as offset printed pieces giving the best view. Travel anywhere in the world and you will realize the intense competition of America's many-duplicated products contributed to produced beautiful store shelves. Rembrandt has the appearance of being an illustrator only because he didn't work for rich bishops, much to Mr. Buonarroti's discredit. Only one of Michelangelo's works is in a private collection, and it's garbage. Painting is for the soul. Sculpture is for the mind. Rockwell comes in for the gut.
