The article uses paintings by Siberian artists as empirical study material in the current context when regional art has become one of the priority areas of modern art studies, of which art criticism is a part. The focus is made on how the image of an artist is formed in art criticism works and what influence these works produce on readers. A critic's activity is considered as contributing to the communication between the author and the viewer. Art communication is given an emphasis because it is essential for co-creation between the author and the recipient to happen, for joint cognition of the world order and transmission of information containing the author's worldview, his artistic concept, and fundamental values acquired in the course of life. No doubt, art communication is impossible without a work of art, which is a trigger for the meeting between the painter and viewer to take place. Therefore prime attention is given to art criticism of the paintings. It is noted that commenting on artworks is becoming particularly relevant at the present time, the reason being extreme subjectivity of the figurative content of artworks.
