"It is the artist, not the critic,* whogives society something of lasting value."
The speaker asserts that "It is the artist, not the critic,who gives society something of lasting value." In my point of view, it isboth the artist who devotes his whole emotion and feeling to the work and thecritic convey these values to the society that keep the lasting value of work.
(综合陈述最好能用其他意思该换下作者语句,这样好些,不过第一次就能清晰的表达不错!)
In the first place, the artist who creates the art work is themost critical people who making the lasting value of his work possible(the artist isthe most critical people who inject the central value to their works.). An artistalways spends thousands of time thinking about how to express his strongfeeling through his art work. And the more strong feeling he expresses in hiswork, the more valuable his work is.(比较级使用不错,很多人会记得怎么写,比如说我,呵呵) Only through this can we read aboutthe strong emotion behind the work after hundreds of years.(倒装)
This is thekey to keep his work popular and valuable for hundreds of years, because tovalue one art work is not to value its complicated skill that an artist used inhis work but to value the deep connotation that expressed or hidden in thework. (同学你这句太长了吧!)For example, when Van Gogh created his famous work "Sunflower", hetried to express his strong passion towards life although his life was not thatgood. The bright color of this work fully expresses his passion and when peoplelook at this work now, people are easily touched by this passion. When we feelsad about our lives, just looking at such kind of art will encourage us to facethe difficult in our lives.
In the second place, the critic who values the art work and shareshis view with public also contributes to keep the work valuable through thetime. Some work of art is not that(第二次用that前面已经写了that good,看来作者连程度副词都不想用大众化的so, such。其实没这个必要,当然个人意见)
impressing at first glance to us whohas not so much knowledge about arts. So we may tend to understand the meaningof the art through reading some comments written by critics. And if a certainpiece of art is so lucky that always commented by critics now and then, thispiece of art will have more chance to be known and appreciated by the public.However, a critic always has different view on a certain art work with othercritic, thus will arouse a debate over that art work. As a result, more andmore critic will join in to value that work and more and more valuable elementsin that work will be found out. Obviously, this can also add the value of awork and making the society benefit more from that valuable work.
To sum up, artist who gives the life of art work is删 no wonder contributes most to that work. But we can not deny thata critic who helps keep the art more understandable and attracts more attentionfrom the society also contributes to the new life of the work.
