Art History & Art Critisism?

answers1: Both art history and art criticism take into account the
context of the art work. Both are concerned with the basic functions
of art in society and for individuals. Art history documents art that
has been seminal in pushing boundaries of expression and society
function and/or art that has become iconic. Art criticism helps to
identify which art may be seminal/iconic and why.
answers2: Art history is how art developed over time and across
cultures. It relates to social history. Sometimes a case can be made
that art leads social history by raising awareness that stimulates new
ways of thinking and fresh visons of how life should be; other times
art documents social history by means of showing the vision of artists
and their patrons of the time. Often art history is a combination of
those things. <br>

Art criticism is evaluation of how art meets objectives. Questions
asked by critics are in at least three categories. What was the art
trying to do? How well did the art accomplish the mission? Was the
mission worth achieving? <br>
