Issue144. "It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value."
的确,有价值的作品都是出于艺术家之手
但是,艺术家的作品并不一定是都是有持久价值的,什么样的作品都是有持久意义的呢?
然而,艺术作品并不是那么好理解的
评论家有助于人们对艺术作品的理解
但是评论家的因素也有不好的
很多时候,艺术家创造了作品,评论家发掘了作品
There is no doubt that the artist created the valuable works. Can the works last for long? Frankly speaking, I don’t think so. Because art is not so easy to comprehend. Then comes the stage of critics. Yet, critics are just like a two-side sword. Taking the positive effects from critics into consideration, a piece of works leaves unforgettable impression actually owing to both the artists and the critics. My justifications are amplified as follows.
To start with, artist is irreplaceable creator. Although the definition of artist is vague, those who produce pieces of art works, irrespective of how long the work would last for, are named of artist. On this point, it is truly the artist who gives birth to precious works. There exist a myriad of artists in the long river of history. Beethoven, Van Gogh and suchlike artist are the most acclaimed. Artist is to art woks what mother is to baby.
Further more, art works are not always valuable. Maybe, one out of hundreds or more pieces deserve to be preserved. So what kind of works could on earth last forever. As far as I am concerned, the promising works have a lot in common. I emphasize two of the similarities. Firstly, the very kind of art should be accepted at least by a class of people. That is not to say the works must win approval once it is composed. In practice, the odds are often that the works acquire popularity after the art pass away. If no one values the work, how could it survive ?Secondly and importantly, the works should mirror something meaningful, anyway.The reason that simple tune is to be melody are that the composer entrusts the song a lot of emotions.
Believe it or not, but the fact is that indigestible works can not be understood easily by an ordinary individual. Art itself is a thing that is mysterious. In particular, excellent works full of profound sense make it more difficult to follow the authorship. Taking Van Gogh’s paintings for example, originally his painting did not blend in well with the main feature. Only after he committed suicide, his works started to occur into people’s sight. Generally speaking, wonderful work will be bound to be accepted.
Then, critics emerge at the right time . Critics’ words often motivate us to think about the art. Sometimes, critics throw immediate light upon the origin intention of the artist. What kind of person critics are? Ordinarily, critics are trained or born with an eye of identification. What is more, they are to acquire some professional knowledge. It is a typical of critics to find something different from the common sight. Jury in a singing competition is convincing example of critics. Their jobs are mostly professors or composers. They have an acute sense of voice. Besides, they help the singers to take advantage of themselves.
On the other hand, not all words from critics are accurate. Definitely, the accesses from critics are subjective. They behave and speak according to their mind. Here goes the old saying: “Gold can’t be pure and man can’t be perfect”. The famous Chinese musician Bing is spoken ill of .Critics looks down upon his works, several of them even declared that Bing can’t look up to the standard of musician. However, after Bing’s death, his melody is popular all around China. Personally, critics’ comments are just for reference, it can’t completely represent the true significance of art.
In summary, a valuable work is fraught of the origin author’s feelings and the critics’ words. The author’s feelings are the soul of a work while the critics’ words are usually compared to catalyst of a work on its way to last for long. (620)
