55In order for any work of art –for example, afilm, a novel, a poem, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable tomost people.
Some people say we are living in a worldwith flourishing of manifold arts, for example, films, novel, poem, painting,carving, and so on, for wider acceptance and understanding of people. But someothers regard it as a disaster for the development of arts because of so manyjudging criterions imposing on the artistic work. In my opinion, I don’t thinkit reasonable to judge any artistic work by the extent of wide people’sunderstandings. The merit of a artistic work is decided by its creators oncethey are finished.
Admittedly, if a art work is moreunderstandable to most people, it usually show that this work is very popularand has an important influence on common people. From this view, it is safe tosay that this work is excellent. For example, Michael Jackson’s many songs arewidely accepted by the most world people because people love the notationsexpressed by their lyrics as well as rhythms. Numerous people changed theirlift routes positively influenced by Michael’s music. The greatly successfulunderstanding does
be a flashing meritof Michael’ music.
However, although people’s widelyunderstanding of the artistic work is to some extent meaningful, we can notconclude that in order to have merit for any art work, artists need to carterthe most people’s understanding level, or even their interests. I want to illustratemy view as follows.
Firstly, it is hard for artists to considerthe most people’s understanding ability to create their work. A love film maybe well accepted by the most of young people ranging 18-25 but not includingthe older adults older than 30, who may account for the most percent of thenational population. So, even it is not understandable by older people, it doesnot means the film’s failing in keeping its merit since many young peoplesupport it.
Secondly, if the artists always regard thewide acceptance and understanding as their creating principle, it may destroytheir create work. We all know that artistic work expresses the creator’soriginality from many different aspects about his views toward a event, athing, a person or others. When a artist consider most people’s understandingabilities, may the artist need to change his/her presentation form, such as theconstruction of a story, a sculptrue theme, the expressing methods and manyaspects, which may affect the art accomplishment or the real thinking in theartist work. For instance, if a write who is good at writing logical detectingnovel see the most people’s understanding as his writing norms, he may lost tobe attract people’s interests or even to be a third-class writer rather a outstandinglogical writer.
The last essential reason, in my opinion, itis the most excellent artists, such as novelists, painters, singers, filmmakers, and so on, who create the most important art by their own profoundly thinkingabout our all kinds of life for the a large part of common people. We, commonpeople, admire the intelligence present in the artist work and we are inspiredby them. And we acknowledge that the artists lead the art culture but not us. Therefore,it is necessary for the artist to create their work not regarding whether themost people understand it or not.
In conclusion, I think that it would behelpful to develop a more free society for the artists to do their work ratherthan opposing much more restrains on them likely considering the wideunderstanding of the most people. |
