I think the problem with the "visual' field is... too many words, too language centered. It's very easy to talk with words about other things made out of words. It's not that language cannot talk about music or visual things, etc... but it is not the most efficient medium. So, I can show you an image, or describe it to you in words...
Really good art criticism does make effective use of language. You can tell someone what they are seeing, or do so in a way that makes them see better. But this is an unusual skill.
