Foreword by Aaron Stimpson, written as a TED Talk submission:

"Leah Robbs latest talk on neo-art-theory has the possibility of completely changing the conversation of the art world as a whole. It is the art-theory code-breaker; a first of

its kind within art!

With no exaggeration, you will find yourself questioning the very practice of art criticism and its use in the art community as well as agreeing with how this new art dialogue

will influence how we approach art from within our education system as well as many other channels in the art world.

Leah Robb and her latest talk on neo-art-theory is by far the most fascinating thing to come across the art sphere in a long time and it certainly belongs in the archives of TED

Talks among top scholars. It is an earthquake epicentre waiting to be exposed!

I would like to nominate her for the line up in TED Talks everywhere!

Many readers of her publication, Theory on Objective Criticism of Art, have enthusiastically recommended that she put forward a Ted Talk proposal. All of them have said that

it would change the way the art world looks at art from this point forward!

One reader of her publication reviewed it as follows:

"Bravely setting out to find an island of unassailable firmness in the swamp of subjective and meaningless art criticism, Leah Robb manages to build a convincing case to helpthe rest of us to understand why something in our local art gallery might be classed as art. If only the art critics, themselves, would read this book!

Her theory doesn't disallow the bizarre or the shocking, but neither does it overlook the skill involved in crafting an unforgettable image. Above all she tries to bring meaning

back to the centre of a piece's worth; to ask the question - Is it connecting with the audience?

Trying to keep herself to the point, and peppered with intriguing pictures and quotes, she has succeeded in helping us to map the cosmos of the visual arts. Not only that, but

her theory is equally applicable to our appreciation of drama and poetry. I like this book."

Phil Busby, Poet.

Another reader has described it as:

"A bomb sent right into the heart of the art critic's fortress".

It has already challenged many artists as well as critiques to revisit their art evaluation criteria. It, in and of itself, is a masterpiece!"
