96"Although, critics who write about the arts tend to deny the existence of any objective standards for evaluating works of art, they have a responsibility to establish standards by which works of art can be judged."

Although evaluating works of art is seldom an objective job, critics should take the responsibility to make the proper standards, this is to say, to strive to make correct judgment according to their experience and objective principles, and as a consequence, making the evaluation more possibly objective and publicizing artists' works.

There is no denying that critics can seldom keep an even-handed role in assessing the value of artistic works. First of all, usually, critics of works of art and their creators are from different periods, this means that critics can not know the background on which artists made the works, their attitudes and thoughts to arts and to the society, their moods and feelings, etc., so when evaluating them, they have to make many assumptions, adding their own understanding and points of view, therefore some subjective ideas unavoidably and imperceptibly immerse into their evaluation work; Secondly, even if they attempt to evaluate the contemporary artistic works, being lack of the latest standards to keep up with the increasingly changeable tendency of art mainstream, it is also difficult for critics to conduct disinterested and objective assessment. Thirdly, critics, a kind of social existence like all of us, can hardly eschew the exterior impacts, especially for the profits and authority. Enticements of money and coercion of high-power are the primary reason of their departure from their jobs. Consequently, just like a saying goes, nothing is objective, nor is the evaluation of arts.

However, are the evaluating jobs of critics are meaningless in light of the above statement? They are definitely not. It is the critics who help artists to truly realize the value of their works. Artists must be very appreciated when someone give their works a high appraisement; even if those comments are hypercritical and strict, do people learn most from those whose perspectives are different and even controversial from them? Literally, they do. What's more important, it is also the critics who make their creations popular, and therefore bring with them honor and even huge awards. Without them, how can one know masterpieces such as Mona Lisa of Vinci, Sunflower of Van Gogh, and David of Michelangelo? Without them, how can them win the popularity in their times or in their posthumous times?

Admittedly, like many critics in Van Gogh’s times who could rarely comprehend the inherent implications of his works, especially for his abstract ones, today's critics also confront with similar problems. Thus, critics are accountable to institute proper standards to objectively assess the value of artistic creations to the most extent. Not only should they establish them based on their accumulated knowledge and experience concerning arts' criticism--by researching the history of former artists and communicating with contemporary artists, but they also should make these standards ever-developing so as to follow the fashionable trends of art creations. Only doing this, can evaluation most objectively reflect their inherent value, and reappear what artists want to express.

In summary, although evaluating of works of arts can not be made entirely objectively due to the limitations of time, standards and critics themselves, it is still necessary for them to endeavor to work out optimum assessment standards for artistic works in order to truly reflect their inner value, and to make the public's appreciation possible.

Never,never,never,never give up !!
