Aristos operates as an online platform dedicated to reviewing the arts and examining the philosophy of art. It advocates objective standards in arts scholarship and criticism, arguing that art can be defined in objective terms across the traditional fine arts. The publication is critical of certain modernist and postmodernist directions and highlights contemporary work that is intelligible, well crafted, and aligned with meaningful human values. Its independent stance draws on Ayn Rand's philosophy, with fuller articulation in What Art Is: The Esthetic Theory of Ayn Rand. Based in New York City, New York, Aristos runs with a small team and operates in the online arts criticism space. Its audience includes general readers, students, critics, and scholars seeking a neutral, evidence-based perspective on art and its meaning.
