Art: No News Here

Another newspaper art critic bites the dust. Tyler Green in ArtInfo on the elimination of art critic Robert Pincus from the pages of the San Diego Union Tribune:

Alas: The art world has mostly retreated into itself and has mostly shrugged at the elimination of the jobs that once placed artists and their work before large audiences and in outside-the-ghetto contexts. The saddest thing about this moment in art the art world is that commercialism and communitarianism often suffice, that art lovers rarely agitate for the inclusion of art and artists in broader national and international dialogues. Maybe that’s OK: I hear Glenn Beck enjoys working as an art critic.
