Research NX Arts in general The objective of this research is to study the writings of art criticisms in Malaysia. Based on evidence, the researcher has concluded that art criticism moves in tandem with the progress of the local art development. The research is in the form of a qualitative survey. Information has been gathered from the year 1900 to 2000. In addition, the researcher has also conducted several interviews with art practitioners selected at random. Among them were artists, writers, students and members of the public. This is aimed to gather information relevant to the subject matter. The views of the respondents are vital to gauge the actual perception of the society on the importance of art criticism. The findings from the research show that art criticism is divided into several trends and approaches that characterized its writing from year 1900 to 1950. In the early decade of the 1950s, the writings of art criticism were inclined towards the sociological approach. This approach is due to the art movements and themes common to most of the artists during that period who preferred local landscape and daily lives of the rural folks, with whom they identified. The writings of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were founded on the meanings of the national identity. Consequently, the critical writings too reflected the infusion of nationalism. In the 2000s, art criticism veers towards globalization. This has left a pronounced effect on art in Malaysia. As a whole, these developments have left a positive impact on the growth of the local art scene. The above findings show that criticism on the visual arts has long existed in our country in one form or another. However, despite the development in Malaysian art, no in-depth study has been conducted. Can reviews on art criticism be considered as a criticism on art as well? The researcher thinks it can. Art writing should be recognized as an important source of knowledge. 2008 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/40005/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/40005/1/40005.pdf text en public phd doctoral Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Art and Design Mahamood, Muliyadi
