Description

This course examines the history of art criticism and writing about art in an Australian context and considers how these practices reflect, diagnose and affect the nature of the visual arts. There is a constant evaluation of recent art criticism from a variety of sources and a questioning of what actually constitutes criticism. At the same time, the subject goes back to the start of writing about art in Australia and looks at the practice from the beginning of European settlement to recent times in an historical context.
