The arts(painting,music,literature,etc.)reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society.
When it comes to the issue of the function of arts,I share the idea with the speaker that arts,in term of painting,music,literature and so forth,indeed uncovers the latent ideas and impulses of a society.Besides,it has never stopped its pace of expressing and subliming the emotion,faith as well as humanity deeply rooted in individual's inner heart.
As the precious wealth and witness of human civilization,arts has been the primary and effective formulation for artists to express their observations and attitudes of their comtamprary society since the very advent of arts.Stendhcl once said:" A novel is a mirror walking along a main road."An remarkable example is the recently hot book named Dwelling narrowness which reflects the pervailing anxiety and discontentment of individuals due to the harsh contradiction bwteen the little salary of whiter collar and the high price of real estate in China.Further more,even a cursory review of art works,regardless of music,paiting as well as movie,reveals the substantial fact that innumerable artists gave voice through their art works to praise or criticize society.For instantce,Beethoven expressed his appreciation to the new current of freedom and equality that followed the wake of the French revolution through his symphony.With respect to this point,the arts reflect the latent ideas and impulses of a society by way of its concrete incarnaions,such as literature,music,as well as movie.
Besides,another cynosure of arts is the inner world of individuals.Basically speaking,as a common individials,artist have all kinds of personal feelings and are naturally prone to persue aesthetics which could be their raw materials for their art works.The immortal protraiture by Leonardo Da Vinci--Mona Lisa--reveals the innate human character of unsatiable desirability of beauty.And when you are basking in the world of works by Von Gogh,the fever love of life implied in his works will stimulate your enthusastic even craze hope for your life.In my observation,arts are the outcome of longstanding impact on artists imposed by society ,which uncover and sublime those latent emotions and faith deeply in human hearts.
In addition,apart from the functions discussed above,arts also cater for some other needs of human beings.The earliest purpose of arts is to provide pleasure for us.We could read novels and see the movies to light our mondane presure.Besides,another merit of arts is that we could learn and reconstruct past from the evidence provided by arts,such as novels,paintings as well as dramas.
To sum up,as the foregoing discussions,arts could not only serve as a remainder of the latent ideas and impulses of a society,but also as the mirror of the inner world of human beings. . |
