Critisim

No man is perfect, no man is complete either. So when Artists, whether in field of music, paintings or other forms of art perform or exhibit their artistic talents, one expect people to both criticize as well as appreciate it. For the opinion is in the eyes of the beholder. And those very eyes may visualize or may not visualize what the artist had expected to carry across. Any artist need to take both the positives and the negatives, weigh them and understand where they're coming from. And look into himself and his work to see whether there is any truth in these opinions. No man should blindly believe any take on his work.

Acclaim, is what all artist look for and stride for, but the true strength of any artist is when he can swallow his pride and read into it his critics and analyze his work and understand if in any way there is truth in those critical letters. So often, critics, who have no knowledge of the subject, no taste in art are allowed to write columns and reviews, that they're readily dismissed by the artist. And hence real critics are drowned out. Look at today's movies, even if how terribly a movie does, there is someone who still has found the movie to be 5 stars or an excellent movie. Too often the reserve has happened, when prominent sources have given thumps down to good works of art. The problem today is there are so many critics that, you're not sure who to listen to and who actually has some sense of artistic sense.

For this I suggest that artists should pick a set of critics, who he believes are, not always producing 5 or 4 stars, but are honest and have a good sense of art that he or she can truly trust or depend upon. For any artist is capable of improving his or her work, is surely able to see different views of point, and these sort of exercises in this direction are very helpful.
