"Criticism" includes the concept of "comments, evaluation, assessment," but a lot of people understand it as "critical." "Criticism" is a "negative" "critical" characteristics, but far from being "criticized" the whole. More important part of criticism, or mission, is an independent spirit, to rely on a theory of the valuable things in deeper analysis and comment. Criticism in the arts activities, "the critic of art and art criticism to philosophical thinking vocabulary, the vocabulary of art critics, criticism is often used to describe a range than simply to judge the conduct of a broad number of activities. "Morris.
Wits said: "The critics in the criticism, we will do four things in one, or more than one: they are works of art to describe, they will have to evaluate it, they should also have a general theory of it. Some of critics are mainly engaged in descriptive criticism; Although some critics to describe, but mainly in order to enhance their interpretation; also at the same time some critics to describe, explain, evaluate and summarize the theory. "In other words, art criticism done at home, it is essential that the face of how works of art made that statement that this should serve to open the role of works. Because for most
People, especially as the viewer, comments are in the initial work on a fuzzy perception based on the works of systematic, rational, and more in-depth reading.

With the continuous warming of Contemporary Art, art criticism has been heating up, and generalization and expansion continued. Civil magazines and the Internet have fueled criticism of the arts plays a role. Art criticism and the boundaries of the scope of the expansion works of art criticism, art criticism of ideas, art schools of criticism, the criticism of art exhibitions, which seems to be no longer the focus of criticism, but rather, art market, art and media, art and capital, fairs and auction houses have become a central issue for discussion. Especially since the financial crisis, critics have turned into a fortune teller or the old Chinese medicine practitioners to constantly feel the pulse of contemporary art in China and predicted that
The same diagnosis and they are China's contemporary art "overheating", the economic crisis is "anti-fever medicine", China's contemporary art will bring down a fever will return to a rational calm. Artists began to return to the studio and began to think, because they are "mending their ways", so critics come to a very ridiculous conclusion: to re-shuffle of the art.

To remove the topic of art and capital, critics continue to focus to create a hot topic, from the "Lu Wang struggle" to Gao Lu on the "Italian school" oppose. More and more experience in our network to provide a piece of art criticism fields, the top seed in the Fiat democracy and freedom, we would be necessary to reflect on it?

Our criticism of the arts is a growing entertainment and media of the case? Critics have done more and more closer to the show, critics have more and more like an actor, the network is a stage. They do best is to have a role in his fearless hero, there is a defender of justice. Because it will be the role of favorite people. Performances in the media, is an inherent anxiety, this anxiety comes from a concern about the degree of self-expectations, and this attention is enough to affect the index of the existence of fame and fortune. In direct proportion to the relationship between them. Each critic has an ambition, Especially those who have their own possessive, controlling vision and ideals For the critics, and art history is the seat of their tireless efforts which seats. There are our media and the public are strongly prompted critics to show the road, we include the public art mixed crowd and they're keen and they want to see, is precisely what the nature of this debate with entertainment rather than a serious study of the text, the media then the people are to meet this demand, so they have a network of bustling scene criticism.

Our criticism of the arts is often the two extremes, one is "the boundless praise", as well as one that "killed with a stick." As for the "boundless praise," we have a lot of talk about, and on the "death with sticks," but we need to think about, such as the "national symbols" in the works of criticism, it seems that the popularity of contemporary art abroad have the suspects are was into the "to please the West, using national symbols do art" in the big hat, but the critics did not conduct a more in-depth observation and screening.

"Killed with a stick"-style criticism, is often a criticism of the performance of rough, and many big words and hard copy concept of the same critics are common. Specific rather than general, and substance and in-depth criticism, is what we need to look forward to the art of criticism.

The evolution of art is the need to promote the role of theory. The method of art criticism and guidance in fact a direct impact on the process and the construction of art, then criticism of the establishment of a benign environment is very necessary, the ontology of art constructive comments and to explore even more important because the development of the arts to by the valuable and meaningful works of art "release" to promote.
