    The word "art" should be divested from the conversation. That would get rid of the even more insipid category of taxonomy termed "art critics". They should get
    real jobs more appropriate to their skill level, behind a Starbucks counter. ... Or maybe that is what they are in fact doing most of the time now, when not posting
    online nonsense.

    Having read the article you linked to, afraid I rather agree with him. It also explains why we don't make our living as critics ... we're too humble.
