If your art requires context to be understood, then it is broken.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoNo. Art Criticism and Theory is literally about the interplay of art with its context, and viewing art in different contexts (periods, and cultures). One such example is the 'period eye', where you juxtapose art from one period to another, such as 15th century Italian art in today's realm, and observe how the context has changed w.r.t. dimensions like racism, classism, or sexism. Have you ever taken a class on it? It doesn't sound like it. The term sounds intimidating but I think most 101-level classes try to be accessible from the interactions with educators I've had. Perhaps you are confusing art with the meme about UI design and jokes.
