It seems that there always exist a conflict between arts and the critic, not just some quarrels between themselves, but also those average people how to evaluate them. When it comes to the question that actually who of them gives society something of last value, in my view, while we speak highly of some artists, we also should not ignore contribution of the critic. In the integrate world of art, both of them are indispensable.

For any art works that provide us with extreme beauty and some profound emotions, the first we need adore is the one who make it. Through their sharp feeling and penetration of society and also outstanding skill in art, our artists create some great songs, nice pictures and some movies. With out their creativity and immense efforts, all of this become impossible. For example, it is Leonardo Da Vinci himself, not some other critic, drew the picture called Mona Lisa, which will forever be a treasure among the paintings in the world of art. Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most gifted painters in 19th century, alone painted his works, which now become unimaginable precious. We admire these artists for their gift, their imagination, their love to life and their deep sympathy to this world. Their works and spirit play a important role in encourage us people to conquer hardships in our life, and to build a pretty society. So, it's no doubt that great artists deserve a lasting admiration.

The critic, they don's create any works at all, and some times harm some artists. We may remember that the Effel Tower, which can be called the symbol of Paris and France, was strongly opposed to be constructed by some critics, among who are some famous politician like the then premier of France and some other artists like Maupassant. If Effel, the deviser of the Tower, give up his great dream of completing this great construction just because of opinions of these critics, people like us today,will haver no chance to appreciate such a extraordinary tower, which is assessed as the eighth largest miracle by some analysts. In a short world, some ones including some artists don's like critics because they seems not helpful even detrimental in the creating of a art work.

However, doing so is not ever-handed to our critics. Although some times, critics possibly harm enthusiasm of artists, in fact their ideals about what was made by an artists by most often give a useful feed back to this arts. For the same exmple of Effel Tower, we should admire Mr. Effel for his adhere to his dream of this tower, but we should also some useful suggestions given by these critics through their blame to this construction. The same phenomena also happen in some other branches of art. And this is why some artists can develop a good friendship with some critics.

Critics are important in the world of at can also be illustrated by other two reasons. The first, since critics usually hold some expertise of arts, they can more deeply understand the art works than average people. Thus, in a society, most often, its through these critics, all of us begin to learn about some arts. For example, there exist some music magazines, which hire some professional music critics to instruct us how to appreciated some new pop musics. The second reason, we must pay attention to a fact that, any finally art can't be successful with out affirmation of some critics. The famous Chinese poetry Du Fu, had not been well known by others for a long time period until another famous writer, Su Dongpo appeared and give him a high assessment. So, we have no reason to little what the critics had done in the art world.

From what was discussed above, in fact, the combination of artists and the critics bring some work of lasting value. So, I call on all of them concentrate their own work and continue make contribution to the art.
