Art Word of the Day: Audience

in #wordoftheday6 years ago

Term: Audience

Definition: Any viewer, reader, or listener,

either alone or with others. This often refers to those people for whose gaze a work is intended, although at present the identity of those viewers is largely unknown.Quote: "The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public." Henry Geldzahler (1935-1994), Belgian-born U.S. curator, art critic. reprinted In The New Art: A Critical Anthology, edited by Gregory Battcock (1966, revised 1973). See art critic, art history, and modernism. Also see dance, gallery, iconomania, iconomaniac, museum, music, posterity, theater, and voyeur.


Art Word of the Day

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
