Who gives society something of lasting value, the artist or the critic? It is a lasting debate that no one can conclude who does it. The artist gives us direct value by their works; while the critic gives us the value of the artists' works by evaluates them. As in my view, both artists and critics do give the society something of lasting value, and we cannot figure out which one is superior to the other.
It is surely that artists give us so much wonderful works that have lasting values. In the art field, there are many outstanding people give us so nice and unforgettable paintings, music, novels and so on. One famous people, Vinci, whose painting "Mona Lisa", gives us so much happiness in the past and leads us to think more nowadays. The works possess great values given by Vinci stimulate people to think further and the value will last for ever. Another famous people Mozart, an genius, gave us so much beautiful music that we still enjoyed so much now. The emotions endowed with Mozart to that music attract us in them, and some of them encouraged us, comfort us, and so on. Moreover, Shakespeare, the master of drama writer, whose works such as "Romeo and Julie", "Hamlet", contributed a lot to our arts. Many years till now, those dramas are still the popular ones that many people are running after them, making them into movies, reading them again and again. Do not they have lasting value?
On the contrary, the critics also give us something of lasting values directly and indirectly. First, through critics, more and more works have been focused by people. It usually that some of the artists' works cannot favor contemporaries and these artists do not have the ability to attract people by themselves. At this time, it is the critics who make the works in front of people. The very example is the famous musician-Bach-whose works were not recognized in his time, but became popular after commented by some critics, such as Mendelssohn who was also a musician. Bach's works would never be recognized by people if no critics commented them. Therefore, some lasting values are given by critics indirectly by recommending unknown works to publics.
Second, critics give lasting values directly through the way of comment. Some works’ value and meanings can be seen directly by publics, while many other arts' whose values and meanings are not showing in the superficial but very deep that normal people cannot know them at the first sight. At this time, the critic play an important role in explaining the significant meanings of those arts to people to know them more and enjoy them more. Take Vinci's works again. As every body knows that his works are mostly abstract that normal people cannot know what he wanted to express. Fortunately, through the critics’ comments, we have a clearer view when we enjoy those works now.
To sum up, both artists and critics give society something of lasting value and the meanings are equal. The artists give us directly lasting values by their works while the critics push us to more lasting values by giving comments on those works especially those unknown works.
