----------------------------------
In this assertion, the author suggests that it's the artist who gives society something of lasing value rather than the critic. After considering some facets of the issue, I totally agree with the author's assertion.
First of all, artists are great for they're the somebody who dare to create something that is never seen before. Art varieties in many area like paintings, music, operas as well as literature. In ancient times, people lack the ability to take photos, in stead, they paint. Almost everybody knows the painting of Mona lisa's smile by Leonado da Vinci, when you are standing in front of the paiting in Louvre Palace, you'll be strongly shocked by its art effect. Besides that, we know Charles Choplin, his funny performance impressed everybody, which has a lasting value as well as the painting of Mona Lisa's smile. Talked about literature, there're many more great art works such as Shakespears' comedies and tragedies as well as the Analects of Confucius. They all have great impression on the future generations.
On the other hand, critics don't have the ability to create something. What they do is to have some critical comment on existed things, which values little. Sometimes, the comments are unfair even with individual tendency, as a result, they cannot reflect the value of art works themselves. On the other hand, critics are mostly the conservatives, which results in the encumbrance of advanced art. They may keep the old thoughts and refused to accept the newly inventions. As a result, they may impact the development on art and for themselves, the critical comments don't have a lasting value in all circumstance since people are easy to remember those goodness rather than the criticism.
In addition, there's a fact that no artists, no critics. But no critics, there're still artists. The critical comments by critics are all based on the art works of the artists. Without those art works, critics become useless. Thus, critics are more or less an addition to the artists. It's the fact that it's always easy to criticize than to create.
To sum up, with the above-mentioned arguments, it's clear that critics are not in the same place with artists. What a critics do violate the development of the society while on the other hand, what an artist do help accelerate the development of the society. At length, I agree with the author's assertion that "it is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value."
