The Artist As Critic : Oscar Wilde.
The Artist As Critic: a piece of work does not have meaning until it is given meaning from an observer/reader/listener. Therefore the critic is, in a sense, the artist.
Everyone sees things differently (although some opinions may agree with others, it is coincidental), and in their view they may or may not find beauty/turth/meaning. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
Question: does any one person’s opinion have more value than any other? What is the difference in significance between a random person’s perception of a piece and someone who has been studying art for many year’s perception of a piece? [Artist temperament]
This is my summary. Please do not steal my words.
