These were under Caitlin's comments, but so you don't miss them, here they are:
1)Majorie Welsh states that she "mistakenly thought that only 'laypeople' confuse criticism with severe disapproval"
Is this true on the art world as well as our day to day life. Think of the frequent occurrence of people specifying "constructive criticism". Is criticism always supposed to be constructive?
2)What would be the point of destructive criticism. Would that not just be abuse as Mrs. Welsh proposes later?
3) "So for an artist to extract mere praise from a critic is a form of self-congratulation that does worse than negate the critic's presence: it foreclose on process altogether" Does only saying nice things about a piece stop progress? or could it potential keep an artist moving a pass that is working out well?
