From the paper:

Throughout history artists have placed their works out for the world to see and respond to. Museums and galleries are set up for the purpose of allowing art patrons to go and view what the artist has put together. Each piece of art is a unique blend of the artist's personality and the patron reacts to it partly on what the artist has created and partly because of his or her own life experiences. The world of art is extremely subjective making the critiquing of the works especially difficult. There have been many art critiques in the world but few have had the major impact on critiquing that famed critic Clement Greenberg had. Greenberg helped shape the field of art criticism and was especially involved in the avant-garde field.
