One who understands the details, technique, or principles of an art and is competent to act as a critical judge
So I was at a series of art shows and I had some difficulty concentrating on the work. Aside from the claustrophobia of small galleries and a five-story building absolutely packed with people (all of them slightly tipsy with free beer and wine) there were distractions.
In lieu of the name/website of the amazing polymer clay reliefs’ maker or perhaps a parody of the metal sculptor from Evergreen who “conscientiously” recycled various household items into her busts and bric-à-brac… (Don’t get me wrong, there are many valid concerns in the conservationist movement… creating new junk from old junk, however, is farcical at best and – as in the worst case, the case at hand – negligent)
No data. Just the hazy concept that such works do, in fact, exist.
It’s true. distractions pervade the art show scene…
