“Maybe the knee jerk negative reaction to any criticism by artists is because criticism of art is often more valued than the creation of art. The reward isn’t placed in creating things, but showing your genius in poking holes in other people’s work. I think there are good critics out there, and criticism is necessary for the evolution of an art form. That said, I’ve been in way too many meetings where critcism were more valued than the work subjected to it.”
