Someone said that it is the artist, not the critic, who gives society something of lasting value. However, I do not support this claim. The artist is important as well as the critic. 【The critic is as important as the artist】They both play a irreplaceable part in the process of creating and evaluating the essence of the art, which is considering the something within the lasting value.
First of all, what is the lasting value? From my point of view, the lasting value of art is the pursuit of the beauty, the display of the beauty and the discovery of the beauty.【个人对lasting value of art有不同的看法,这个无可厚非,只要言之成理即可,但是你是不是要解释一下:pursuit of beauty, display of beauty and discovery of beauty分别指什么?不是下定义,举个生动点的例子就行了。另外,beauty前面不要加the!!!】 Undoubtedly, the display of the beauty is important, as it creates a lot of excellent artworks. Meanwhile, the discovery of the beauty is also significant, without that, we can not taste the essence of the immortal artworks. The great France sculptor Rodin said that" The world is full of the beauty unless we have a pair eyes to find it out." Truly it is. And that is reason why Van Gogh's outstanding works had few recognitions when he was living. Hardly any admired his excellent works until some critics discover the lasting value within his paintings. Therefore, both the aesthetic values, which created by artists and the perspectives of discoverer, that showed by critics are in the same positions in the lasting values.
Admittedly, the artists create the aesthetic value within the artworks themselves. From The Renaissance up to now, there are numerous excellent even immortal masterpieces showing to us, which are all showing the indescribable and forever beauty. Eternal and mysterious smile of Da Vinci's Mona Lisa, exquisite and scared The Creation from Michelangelo, vivid and realistic Night Watch by Rembrandt, dramatic and colorful Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix, changing light and color of Impression, Sunrise from Monet, lifelike and museful The Thinker sculpted by Rodin, raging and abstract Guernica by Picassco. And all those immortal masterpieces let us feel easy and comfortable, make us enjoy the essence of arts, which are all owing to the beauty and the aesthetic value within them.
这些排比很好,有气势,有说服力,作者能记住这么多作品和艺术家的名字,牛呀!
At the same time, the critics provide the public with a special perspective to taste the beauty. Without the particular perspectives from critics, definitely, we may miss a lot of greatest artists and their immortal works. There is no better illustration than Vinect Van Gogh. This gifted impressionistic artist sold only one painting before he suicided【committed suicide】 at merely 37 years old. Few people recognized his paintings, and he did not received the respect on his living. However, when the critics noticed his artworks and the public took attention on those excellent paintings, the lasting value inside all his works were showed to us. And one of his paintings--Portrait of Doctor Gachet has auctioned for the highest price--82.5 million U.S. dollars up to now. From this, we can see how important role the critics are playing to the artists and their artworks.
看完这些,我又不由自主地想到,也正是这些批评家,毁掉了多少有才的文学家、艺术家。
Therefore, to a certain degree, artists are significant【significant一般不用来修饰人】 as well as critics. The former create the beauty, and the latter discover the beauty, 【其实artist也有发现美,critic也有创造美呀】which are two important and irreplaceable factors within the lasting value of the art, besides the two are twisting each other and becoming a whole organism that cannot be broken up. As Rodin said" The world is full of the beauty unless we have a pair eyes to find it out ", undeniably, the world need outstanding artists who can create immortal masterpieces for our human beings. Moreover, we especially call for the critics who can find out the talents and discover the beauty inside their works. Otherwise, the world will lose no less than one hundred Van Gogh.
In brief, both artist and critic are important to the beauty. The artist create the aesthetic value within the artworks, meanwhile, the critic discover and show it to the public in a special perspective way. Thus, the artist and the critic both give the lasting value of art to society.
总的来说,层次清楚,逻辑清晰,再修改完善一下,应该是一篇好文。 |
