The BIG Thing Steve Shives Doesn't Get About Art
Steve Shives is a film and culture critic with lots of opinions, such as the proper way to evaluate art. In a recent video titled "Honesty Is A Critic's Most Important Credential", he explains that honesty, as opposed to correctness, proper use of evidence, and consistency, is the most important attribute for an art critic. But is it? As the artists and critics Alex Sheremet, Dan Schneider, and Ezekiel Yu explain, "honesty" is in fact the bare minimum standard for criticism, since anything else means you are a troll. Thus, going beyond this minimum standard is what distinguishes good and bad critics.
