there's no "right" meaning of art but his argument is built on valid premises, the real question is whether it's a productive direction of thought

>The critic is the real artist.

I agree with it other than the final point

i could see the first one making sense with a little more context/explanation behind it
i agree with the second one and the third one
the fourth and fifth are self-important bullshit by any and all standards

he's listened to over 30000 albums but never tried to make music

of course he would think this

>>63264613
If the critic is the artist, then everything he said about the "artist" applies to the critic, right?

What a fucking joke

nope the critic cannot function without the artist

SPOOK

It's not a new idea. Here is an actual artist writing about it

http://www.wilde-online.info/the-critic-as-artist.html

Scaruffi is a terrible terrible critic and I think he is just parroting Wilde without really understanding him. Criticism is so much more than just "BEST EVAR" lists, one-paragraph descriptions, and arbitrary number scores.

>Scaruffi is a terrible terrible critic
why? his tastes are top-notch

>>63265334
Then he is a good tastemaker but not a good critic

>>63264613
He's a clueless hack, and this only confirms it.

>>63264613

Spoiler Alert: No one remembers the critics.

>>63265566
The critics are the general public

>>63264613
if you think about it the list is simply a way to give more power to the person with the hot opinions than the artist.

>>63265604

Spoiler Alert: No one remembers the general public either

>>63265633
Doesn't really matter because the values of that audience carry over to the next generation to be validated or rejected

DRUMPF HERE

I make the best Art. ANd this is confirmed because the Critics all love my Art. I make Big Art for Good People. In fact, I make The World's Best Art for God's Favorite Country.

Which country?

America.

I make Great American Art with My GIANT Hands. and I sign it in Gold.It has VALUE and QUALITY. What quality? ARTISTIC QUALITY. I mean, if you knew what that was, you wouldnt have to ask and you'd be able to see my Great Art. But you can't. You're not GREAT.

but take my hand

MY VERY VERY BIG HAND

and i will lift you up

AND MAKE YOU GREAT AGAIN

and you will see great art.

and you will make great art that the critics will acknowledge as great art because we have already told them its great.
