Aleksandr Abramovich Kamensky (Александр Абрамович Каменский) (1922–1992) was a Soviet art critic and art historian.
In mid-1950s he launched attacks on the art establishment formed during the Stalin era, blaming it for the domination of Stalin's cult of personality and proliferation of mediocre works. He argued that works of art must be judged not only by their ideological correctness and optimism but also by their artistic merits, relying on the expertise of the "genuine" artists, rather than on the dogmas of bureaucratic organizations in arts.[1][2]
He wrote a number of monographs and articles about prominent artists such as Marc Chagall, Nathan Altman, and Martiros Saryan.
