The Hell With Any Art Critic Any and all art critics are paid curators for the gallery of opinion. They hurt and distort art rather than do the hard work of adding to it. The only legit role, in my opinion, is an Art Summarist who sums up, say, an opera plot, or tells moive-goers if there are gore or sex scenes (helpful for parents planning to see an indie movie w their kids, for ex.). That's not judgment, just reporting.  Proud owner am I, btw, of Hood Pepe 3901, and Based Mfers 12361 and 2904, shown in this maahstapiece.
