artist would make work, critic responds to it, effects public opinion, but also the artist.
-they change something to fight the critic or they embrace them
Ways of Seeing Pollock's work.
Two main critics in New York
- greenberg- formalist critic (studies form, line color etc.) describes Pollock as "all over artist"
- rosenberg- canvas is stage. act of painting.
French Perception
-french artists fled to united state (new york stole the art world)
-think about these paintings as expression of unthinkable horror (world war 2)
-cant make painting with meaning, meaning is too terrible
Effect of Photography
- what to do as painters as representation is being taken over by photography
- ed rinheart- smooth black painting
Like Landscapes
-like a thicket, you could walk into painting and be stuck forever in same landscape
