Hickey seems to differ from most art critics in that he says it is not important what the actual art is saying, yet why a work is efficacious in the first place is as important as whether or not it is satisfying, is what he seems to portray. His argument essentially is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I believe that it depends on the direct one on one relationship between the viewer and the art work as well. Hickey suggests that beauty allows us direct access to art without the public over seeing. It seems as though beauty ultimately comes down to the pleasure in which one has with that object when engaging with it.
