Art criticism is the discussion or evaluation of visual art. Art critics usually criticize art in the context of aesthetics or the theory of beauty. This requires a sound knowledge of art and the history of art and demands objective critical analysis of the work/s in question, therefore being far from an easy task, since it implies much more than just giving your personal opinion on the matter.

When you examine a work of art should you begin with the art criticism or the art history?
As a matter of philosophy, I would say, check out the art history - who the artist was, where he was located, materials he used and perhaps, who his contemporaries were.
