Is it ART or isn't? and the negative moment essential to judgement

 

The  Art world is awash with claimants to their ART, yet  any 'Art' work that is immanently (inherently) uncriticizable cannot constitute a true work of art. As a consequence, any criticism that is unable to differentiate between good or bad artworks, since its only criterion is whether a work is or is not art. Such criticism is entirely positive in its evaluation, '...this

is a work of art, work of 'genius' (aesthetic criteria ) lacks the important negative moment essential to judgement.

This deferral of judgement is in part, the result of a process of maturation—a kind of ripening—immanent to the process of criticism itself.

The aim of criticism is the destruction of this outer layer in order for the work's inner 'truth' content to be grasped.
