<p>A <b>critic</b> is a person who communicates an assessment and an opinion of various forms of creative works such as <a href="Art_criticism" title="Art criticism">art</a>, <a href="Literary_criticism" title="Literary criticism">literature</a>, <a href="Music_journalism" title="Music journalism">music</a>, <a href="Film_criticism" title="Film criticism">cinema</a>, <a href="Theater_criticism" class="mw-redirect" title="Theater criticism">theater</a>, <a href="Fashion_journalism" title="Fashion journalism">fashion</a>, architecture, and food. Critics may also take as their subject <a href="Social_policy" title="Social policy">social</a> or <a href="Government_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="Government policy">government policy</a>. Critical judgments, whether derived from <a href="Critical_thinking" title="Critical thinking">critical thinking</a> or not, weigh up a range of factors, including an assessment of the extent to which the item under review achieves its purpose and its creator's intention and a knowledge of its context. They may also include a positive or negative personal response.
</p><p>Characteristics of a good critic are articulateness, preferably having the ability to use language with a high level of appeal and skill. <a href="Sympathy" title="Sympathy">Sympathy</a>, <a href="Sensitivity_(physiology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sensitivity (physiology)">sensitivity</a> and <a href="Insight" title="Insight">insight</a> are also important. <a href="Substantial_form" title="Substantial form">Form</a>, <a href="Style_(sociolinguistics)" title="Style (sociolinguistics)">style</a> and <a href="Media_(communication)" class="mw-redirect" title="Media (communication)">medium</a> are all considered by the critic. In <a href="Architecture_criticism" title="Architecture criticism">architecture</a> and <a href="Food_critic" title="Food critic">food criticism</a>, the item's function, value and cost may be added components.
</p><p>Critics are publicly accepted and, to a significant degree, followed because of the quality of their assessments or their reputation. Influential critics of art, music, theater and architecture often present their arguments in complete books. One very famous example is <a href="John_Ruskin" title="John Ruskin">John Ruskin</a>'s <i><a href="Seven_Lamps_of_Architecture" class="mw-redirect" title="Seven Lamps of Architecture">Seven Lamps of Architecture</a></i> and <i><a href="The_Stones_of_Venice_(book)" title="The Stones of Venice (book)">The Stones of Venice</a></i>. Critics may base their assessment on a range of <a href="Theoretical_definition" title="Theoretical definition">theoretical positions</a>. For instance, they may take a <a href="Feminist" class="mw-redirect" title="Feminist">feminist</a> or <a href="Freudian" class="mw-redirect" title="Freudian">Freudian</a> perspective.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Unlike other individuals who may editorialize on subjects via websites or letters written to publications, professional critics are paid to produce their assessment and opinions for <a href="Printing" title="Printing">print</a>, radio, magazine, television, or <a href="Internet_service_provider" title="Internet service provider">Internet companies</a>. When their personal opinion outweighs considered judgment, people who give opinions, whether on current events, public affairs, sports, media or art are often referred to as "pundits" instead of critics.
</p><p>Critics are themselves subject to competing critics, since the final critical judgment always entails <a href="Subjectivity" class="mw-redirect" title="Subjectivity">subjectivity</a>. An established critic can play a powerful role as a public <a href="Arbitration" title="Arbitration">arbiter</a> of taste or opinion. Also, critics or a coordinated group of critics, may award symbols of recognition.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Characteristics">Characteristics</h2></div>
<p>Characteristics of a good critic include articulateness, preferably having the ability to use language with a high level of appeal and skill, and sympathy, sensitivity and insight are also important factors.
</p><p>Critics have themselves commented on the characteristics of a good critic. The <a href="Cultural_critic" title="Cultural critic">cultural critic</a> <a href="Clement_Greenberg" title="Clement Greenberg">Clement Greenberg</a> wrote that a good critic excels through "insights into the evidence ... and by ... loyalty to the relevant", while poet and critic <a href="T._S._Eliot" title="T.

</p><p>In 1971, <a href="Harold_C._Schonberg" title="Harold C. Schonberg">Harold C. Schonberg</a>, chief music critic of <i><a href="The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a></i> from 1960 to 1980, said that he wrote for himself, "not necessarily for readers, not for musicians. ...

</p><p><a href="Daniel_Mendelsohn" title="Daniel Mendelsohn">Daniel Mendelsohn</a> described the equation of criticism for critics as <a href="Knowledge" title="Knowledge">knowledge</a> + <a href="Taste_(sociology)" class="mw-redirect" title="Taste (sociology)">taste</a> = meaningful <a href="Judgement" title="Judgement">judgement</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Restaurant critic Terry Durack explained that from a critic "you hope for a thorough, objective and legitimate discussion" that puts "opera, art or book into context, so that it adds to your own body of knowledge"; in the context of a restaurant criticism, this means it is "not about me liking it or not; it's about me helping you decide whether you are going to like it or not."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Rothko's dilemma was that he wanted to employ the vocabulary of symbolism – the palpitating indeterminate space, the excruciatingly refined colour, the obsession with nuance, the presence of Mallarmé's "negated object" – to render the patriarchal despair and elevation of the Old Testament. Criticism doesn't get sharper, or more sensitive, or more deeply sympathetic to the object, than that.
