                                                                “ Seeing Out Loud ”

               In life many people grow old and that’s when some just don’t know what to do and go into a world of loving art so much, that they start criticizing it. One of the character that passes throw this same point is Jerry Saltz, he had no degree, he was an artist who stop painting, who then became a driver truck and then when he was forty years old came back to the art world, in a much different way, instead of coming back painting, he came back by criticizing art.

            I must say that I may not be an expert on paintings but, the way that he criticizes art is a way in which he said that “Being critical of art is a way of showing it respect. Being subjective is being human”. I must agree with him. I think that being part of art you should criticize the painting in a respectful ways, but also not in a fake way if you are human you tell the painters the truth of his art work, not something fake.

        In his saying “The best critics look for the same things in contemporary criticism that they look for in contemporary art”. I also agree with him, if you going to criticize the art work, do it with new comments; don’t look back at the old century criticism, I would say make up your own words because, “Art is a way of thinking, a way of knowing yourself”.  With this statement I also agree art is about finding yourself and knowing how to criticize good enough, in a way you did not know that you were capable of. You will only know this if you use your own words and not copy the criticism of the old century.

        As I say I do agree with Jerry Saltz, his ways of critics are good. There is a painting of Charles Burchfield from eighteen ninety-three. In this painting the painter was trying to create a landscape with highly expressionistic light; but instead Jerry Salts says that it looks like a “haunted houses emanating ectoplasmic auras”. With that critic I do agree the house does look like a haunted house, he didn’t portrait exactly right what he wanted the audience to see.

by Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) . Born in 1893 in Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio.   (21 years old when he, painted this).
