(Lame) Art Criticism for the Artless

Art Criticism for the Artless (and Clueless)

 

Pick one term from each column and create your own unique critique. You will certainly impress, and perhaps stymie, even the most knowledgeable art aficionado.

 

This work/piece/drawing/painting/sculpture:

evokes	a certain	chiaroscuro	linearity
depicts	something of a	subtle	two-dimensionality
involves	a rather	surprising	perspective
exudes	a particularly	ephemeral	negative capability
portrays	a decidedly	organic	fluidity
elicits	a notably	audacious	narrative
attempts	a remarkably	jarring	contrast
conveys	an unexpectedly	compelling	negative space
implies	a uniquely	unapologetic	palette
reveals	an unusual but/and	engaging	use of materials
makes use of	an almost	overwhelming	technique
is invested with	a naively	marvelous	directness
expresses	an intentionally	refreshing	energy
presents	an overtly	innovative	composition
depends upon	an extremely	appealing	rhythm
contains	a wonderfully	ingenious	design
entails	a consciously	jejune	simplicity
is imbued with	an infectiously	facile	minimalism
strikes me as having	a fully realized and	complex	paradox
incorporates	an altogether	effusive	authenticity

@truthfinder, the last class of my degree next fall is with your favourite homeboy JACK MAC. It is a whole course on Aquinas.

Would you like me to convey to him your best regards?

I have the feeling he probably wouldn't remember me. If anything, I wouldn't want the memory of me to ruin his day.

 You never know though, sometimes those old guys have good memory for weirdly specific events.

Young guys, too.
