The lasting value of arts lies in the fact that they show the exceptionally high skills and express the emotions of the artists as well as their deep thought of the world and society. Admittedly, it is the artists who create the value. But it is the critics who find the value and introduce it to the public. They make the value long lasting in society.
The artists create assorted great works and give value to them. All the works show their extraordinary skills of writing, singing, acting or painting. They have brought beauty and entertainment to society, and more than that, they also indicate the brilliant ideas of the artists. Many artistic works have displayed the outstanding talent creation and imagination of human beings. For instance, the impressionists have used the various colors and abstract images to express their impression of the nature in certain moments. Nowadays, we still can feel the beauty of nature and the strong emotion from Monet’s Sunrise. It is the artists, who are regarded to have lightened the culture and created the value.
However, it is the critics who discover the value of art works and introduce them to society. The critics have the sharpest sight and most of them are representatives of people's view of beauty. They see a large proportion of artistic works and select the ones with values to the public. Without them, the value of certain works and the intelligence can hardly be known. For instance, if a new novelist has written a great novel, there would be seldom readers who notice that since paramount writers are publishing new books everyday and it is too difficult for the readers to select the best ones. But if the novel is recommended by critics, the reader would tend to buy and read it to see if it is that good. Some may argue that the Internet nowadays has been a effective place to show new art works to the public. However, from my perspective, since not all great arts are understandable to general people, some high value arts would not be known in this circumstance. There exists a number of high arts [我不知道是不是有high arts这个说法。。。求教]that are not as attractive as popular arts, but contains true value. Their high skill [同上,skill能用high修饰么?求教]and deep meaning can only be found by the critics who have professional knowledge and experience. For instance, the classic music is hard to understand and not as entertaining as pop music. However, they involve the most complex performing skills and deep emotions which can hardly be exceeded. In 18th century, the composers like Beethoven and A created music for their students or the aristocracy. Though not popular with the populace, they still stand out today. Thus, it is the critics who find the value of these talent works and introduce them to society.
[一个小建议,这段的最后怎么突然举例说古典艺术的高深了?可以说一下批评家在古典音乐欣赏中的作用,这样似乎更切题吧]
Furthermore, it is the critics rather than the artists who make the arts last long. The arts with lasting value not only be appreciated in their times, but be admired in the future. Then who decide the standard of arts value at present and in the future? The answer is critics. Other than the outstanding skills, the great arts in modern times are always aimed at probing nature and society, expressing artists' the deep concern toward the world. This trend started in 19th century when science and technology were rapidly developing and social problems caught attention. It is the critics who approved the arts relevant to the evolution of society and encouraged the modern arts to develop to what they are today. They have found the artists' ideas that were closest to society which deserve long-term attention. And they also direct the viewers and readers' views, showing them not only treat the arts as entertainments but also appreciate the inside ideas and pay attention to the problems revealed. As a result, the critics not only discover the value of arts but make the value lasting in society.
[批评家决定了艺术的价值?有个问题:那一个时代的人对某艺术作品不屑一顾,后时代的人却又对其趋之若鹜。批评家在里面究竟起了什么作用?他们之前的无视让该作品门可罗雀,而后突然的转向却又让形势峰回路转。我觉得不是批评家在起作用,而是整个时代的审美眼光在起作用,所以应该是一个时代的人在起作用,批评家只是他们的代表者而已,不应该被列为主要的因素。]
To conclude, the artists create the values while the critics introduce the valuable works to the public and make the value long lasting. Both the artists and critics are necessary to the development of arts. They not only provide beauty and entertainment, but also call for our attention to the social problems.
我觉得提纲很不错,文笔也很流畅,段落之间和段落内的逻辑相当清晰。可以再提高一下语言的质量,包括增加语言的多样性,以及某些高级句法的运用。这样就更好了~ |
