Art criticism aims to analyze and evaluate art through a professional lens, contemporary trends, and increasing the value of art objects. It also attempts to further understanding of what constitutes quality art. Art criticism has historically driven and accelerated the public recognition of artistic movements like Impressionism, Cubism, and Modernism through controversy and misunderstanding. However, art criticism today has become a more commercialized form of journalism driven by subjective tastes and stylistic provocation rather than objective analysis or building cultural expertise.
