Oh
what a critical evaluation and analysis
in context without passing any judgments with appropriate frame of reference
and all these done with such brevity and beauty that even novices will start at
least looking at paintings, if not appreciate or understand it, from a better
perspective and perception.
Actually
this is how in depth analysis of literary texts, art, music and dance are also
done.
Two
striking features of criticism
One
to confine to the inherent merits of the medium-music, dance or
painting, language, subject- one may differ on taste, sensitive reactions,
biased opinions [either negative or positive] aesthetic appreciation of the
work.
Two
evaluate in contextual perspective and try one's level best to
get under the skin of or inside the skull of or into the arteries of the
creator or producer of the work of art or music.
Then
one can feel the pulse of what is or what was there in the creator’s mind and
heart.
Then,
the critic may proceed to further scrutinize it from other angles which the
critic feels like, techniques, grammar, in comparison to other such artists or
products etc.
