Art critic: Criticism focuses on two issues: first, whether the value of an artwork is intrinsic to the work; and second, whether judgments about an artwork' s quality are objective rather than merely matters of taste. These issues are related, for if an artwork' s value is not intrinsic, then it must be extrinsic, and thus judgments about the quality of the work can only be a matter of taste. The art critic's reasoning is most vulnerable to the criticism that it takes for granted that ['judgments about the quality of an artwork are always a matter of taste', "an artwork's value is sometimes intrinsic to it", 'judgments about intrinsic value are always objective', 'judgments about extrinsic value cannot be objective']
