Gossip about the artist's personal life

A reading audience generally expects the following when reading a piece of art criticism:

  1. Critic's opinion expressed - Audiences look for the critic's personal interpretation and evaluation of the artwork.

  2. Principles of art to be discussed - Discussions around the principles of art (like composition, color theory, etc.) help to contextualize the opinion and analysis.

The options "Questions answered" can be relevant but are not universally expected, as it depends on the content and focus of the piece. However, "Gossip about the artist's personal life" is generally not expected in serious art criticism.

So, the correct selections are:

  • Critic's opinion expressed
  • Principles of art to be discussed
