Art criticism under threat

Ronan McDonald lectures in Modern English Literature at the University of Reading. He considers that "The critic has a vital role to play in culture and one that is under threat. ... Controversial artists have often been brought to a resistant public by prominent critics. Clement Greenberg did it for Jackson Pollock. John Ruskin did it for Turner. But are there now critics of sufficient authority to perform this role? Is this because we are all critics now? ... Bloggers and reading groups often claim that they would rather get recommendations from someone they know, someone with similar tastes. One problem with this is that the public are relying on a reviewing system that confirms and assuages their prejudices rather than challenges them. ... Without critics of authority, the size and variety of contemporary criticism may ultimately serve the cause of cultural banality and uniformity."
