Visual art criticism is the center of art criticism, whose discourse often develops around visual themes, as is manifested in the two respects, namely, the relationship between seeing and interpretation regarding the transformation from "seeing" to "speaking out", and that between seeing and being seen revealing the contribution of visual activities to shaping the subject' self-consciousness and showing intersubjectivity. The conversion of visual objects into verbal expressions is an inevitable issue in discourse of art criticism, and it appears in two connected patterns, namely, the visualization of ideas and the verbalization of visual image. The result is that ideas, when visualized, are transformed into interpretative discourse through the conversion of metaphor at the level of linguistic symbols. Vision has been constantly emphasized and visual experience has become the gauge to integrate and understand other human experiences, and visual discourse has thus become a standard mode of representation. However, visual-centrism may occur if the significance of vision is unduly stressed as to overshadow other human senses and their relevant expression logics, and this will hinder our endeavor to realize the conversion of artistic experiences and the expression of critical discourse. Therefore, all human perceptions can be awakened and developed if vision can be balanced with other senses like hearing.
