Overview
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Making use of the senses and the element of emotion, art encompasses the expression through music, literature, film, paintings, and more. Aesthetics as a branch of philosophy deals with the nature of beauty and art, including the appreciation of the disciplines and their relationship with human nature. Aesthetics is, in a phrase, ways of seeing and perceiving the world. Art and aesthetics merge at the visual arts, where the creator or artist interprets an aesthetic which is then decoded by the viewer in individualistic terms unique to each and with critical views towards the original intent or meaning. This book explores the scope of art criticism and the critics who weigh in with their views. Art criticism is an evaluation of art based on aesthetics, trends, value, and an understanding of art history. Included are the forms of art criticism, the contemporary medium of art blogs, and notable art critics through the ages.
