Art critic: Criticism focuses on two issues: first, whether the value of an artwork is intrinsic to the work; and second, whether judgments about an artwork' s quality are objective rather than merely matters of taste
These issues are related, for if an artwork' s value is not intrinsic, then it must be extrinsic, and thus judgments about the quality of the work can only be a matter of taste
judgments about extrinsic value cannot be objective
