Paul, sorry, that pulled your quote out of context.
But: I am interested in the difference "critic" - "art" - "art historian"
Because in this discussion, all mixed up: and artistic studies, and publications about that "fashionable to hang over the sofa (very expensive).
And all these messages - is no less important to set the places ...

I agree with Paul, the theme - interesting, but might be worth, to start "from the stove and dull to explain the difference in concepts, if you can ....

What is a critic of my understanding? I do not think that this is a man who walks around the workshops and talks to artists, what they did right and what is wrong. To do this, to understand all of what is an artist. If an artist has his or her work, then postoronnimu difficult to understand what he was doing. If an artist is criticized, he usually talks as if he himself did, as he sees it, and the author may be under quite a different effect or ... shorter than it should be different, no one else like, then it will be like himself.
Critics classify what has been done and is usually performed on narrow specializations styles, periods, etc. Historians claim islands involved in distant, ancient deeds.
The critic has his hand on his arm is not an artist, but on the pulse of current events and offers from the artist is raped or otherwise influence the extent of his somostoyatelnoe decision and not whether he almost stole it from the studio of his friend, whom he threw himself on the near vystavkome. Few know, he should say so publicly, making a fuss, scandal, etc., that allows him to promote their views, and the name of the artists, whether positive or negative, and should affect the growth of shopping and galleries everywhere.
