abstract
My paper is concerned with the question how could we define art criticism? In my research I try to show that art criticism is hard to define gently enough to be able to differentiate within the amount of texts. Beside that I propose to see how was art criticism defined by different authors in the 1960s. Main three points defining critical text is relation to presence, speculative character and last but not least what I describe as engagement (political, social, cultural). These three roots are undividable from each other yet still hardly thematise and very often overseen. Acknowledge all this together I assume, we should speak about art criticisms (in plural) instead of one type of writing which could be clearly defined.
