I have to choose an art critic to research/present about for my grad
history seminar. Wheeeee. I have no clue about art critics/art theory.
Does anybody have a suggestion? Preferably somebody accessible, or at
least interesting, and maybe with some relevance to 3d art?
Yours

You might be interested in Mathew Kangas, a Seattle resident who has
made a specialty of the fine-craft-as-art genre, with particular
emphasis on contemporary ceramics. His very particular area of
interest is women ceramic sculptors of the Northwest, such as Patti
Warashina, Meg Ford, and others from the University of Washington.
He has several books out and has written extensively for Ceramics
Monthly, Art in America, Ceramics Art & Perception, and others.

Kelly: How big is your budget????? Garth Clark is one of the best art
historians/critics i've ever heard speak. Since i think his fees are
out of your league you could bring in a copy of his book Shards.
Also for your interest on the job front. My fellow classmate and grad
student Joe Singlewald had his opening last night. Since I couldn't be
there I phoned during the opening. the good news other than he is a
new dad is that he has a job offer for a sabbatical replacement. He
will have to take mum and bambino and go where the work is though.
Great news for a promising start on his career.
Cheers,
Tony

Kelly, look on line or at the library under
"art criticism" and you'll find a lot of them.
One 3-d (ceramics, in fact) author/critic
is Tony Birks (did a really interesting book
on Lucie Rie) and Peter Lane is another.
Then there's Garth Clark....not my favorite,
but certainly well known.

Take a look through Ceramics Monthly's and see who has written about others
work.
What the heck, contact Vince or Tony or others who have done, taught and
written about ceramics.
Is it stipulated the art critic has to be an full-time "art critic"?
If not one of our own, here's a published critic by the art critic for the
Washington Post:

Or pick any city paper around the country and look up the "arts" section.

Dear Kelly,
Here are a couple
Mark Del Vecchio Post Modern Ceramics
Peter Dormer, The Culture of Craft (deceased) from the Barbizon
Both have written quite a bit about contemporary ceramics.

Kelly,
I don't know if you consider this art criticism or philosophy, but it was
a thought provoking book:
Art and Nonart: Reflections on an Orange Crate and a Moose Call,
by Marcia Muelder Eaton (Author) .
You should love it,
John Britt

Dear Kelly
How about Harry Berger-or-can't quite remember...its been years since I read
him, but he was a Marxist art critic, who needless to say, saw everything
through a very specialized lense. He talked about the kind of sentimental
attention we pay to skills, civilizations, ecologies, even as they are being
destroyed. He also talked about how, what is craft to one generation
becomes art to another, as the leisure to practice it grows and the need
for its function diminishes....that sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Also, the British guy who wrote' The art of workmanship'. Despite his kind
of turgid, post-victorian prose he had a fresh viewpoint on the inherent
difference between machine-made and handmade...
Kirk Mangus and his mission to get ceramics into the critical cannon
George Woodman on the decorative impulse...
This actually sounds like fun...I gues.s..in a twisted sort of way...

Kelly, Sister Wendy Beckett caused quite a stir here when she reviewed an
exhibit (largely 2 & 3-D) at our Kimbell.
Her basic info is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendy_Beckett
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/sisterwendy/
http://www.ad2000.com.au/articles/2004/may2004p12_1616.html
She's quite an interesting and productive gal in the field of art and as an
art critic.

Based of others responses I'll throw Kevin Hluch into the pot, he is
the author of "The Art Of Contemporary American Pottery".
