Militant critic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the modernist period, three types of agents were involved in the process of making a work of art: the artist, the critic and the gallery owner. The role of the art critic was to justify and theorize works of art he judged were good; this is why he is sometimes called militant critic.
List of militant critics and the art movement they fought for, in chronological order:
Charles Baudelaire: Decadent movement
Champfleury: Gustave Courbet and Realism
Félix Fénéon: Neo-Impressionism
Clement Greenberg: Abstract Expressionism, Post-Painterly Abstraction
David Sylvester: British Modern and Pop Art
