The Crisis of Criticism

Beschreibung

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.
