While making a work of art; the artist has an intention. For instance; some artist makes a particular painting in order to make people think. The business of art criticism is for the art critic to find the artists intention and the artistic value.Noel Carroll divided art criticism into seven parts. The main goal is evaluation. According to Carroll; if the art critic doesnt evaluate art; then the art critic isnt really an art critic. Nevertheless the critic has other goals in order to do evaluation. Firstly; the critic evaluates. Second is classification. The critic should describe the art. Third is classification. For example; some painting fits with a historical period--Baroque; Modern Art; and so on. Fourth is contextualization. The critic finds and explains the context. For instance; why was this artwork made? When? Et cetera.As for the final categories; theres elucidation; interpretation; and analysis. Fifth is elucidation. When the art critic elucidates; she explains the words and symbols in the art. Sixth is interpretation. The critic explains the arts meaning. Seventh is analysis. Here the art critic compares the parts of the work of art to its whole.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Critics must EVALUATE.By AristgensteinCarroll thoroughly examines the concept of art criticism and argues that the main task of the critic; contrary to common trends in criticism; is to evaluate works of art. Anyone who believes that critics should merely describe art but not evaluate it should read this book. It will; at very least; challenge you if not convince you. Carroll is a clear-minded analytic philosopher. He; in this book; and in general; gets right to the heart of the argument. Ive taken classes with him; and read many of his books. On Criticism was the book that got me interested in his work. What most impresses me about his approach to philosophy is his ability to locate the premises of an argument (locate the argument itself) amid the clutter. If an argument is bad; it doesnt matter how many hundreds of pages of polemic accompany it. Carrolls ability to summarize and evaluate arguments is breathtaking.1 of 16 people found the following review helpful. On Criticism; Thinking in ActionBy L. FurlowHaving earned my Masters Degree in education; I am comfortable saying this is with out a doubt the worst book I have ever read. What the author says in one chapter could easily be said in two sentences. Sentences that dont run on for a paragraph in a semi-literate ramble. I do not recommend this book if you have an interest in learning about professional critics. I am sorry this sounds harsh but I stand by my opinion.
