Like the immortal literature works "the Iliad" and "the odyssey" organized by the ancient Greek epic poet Homer, the great film "Holiday in Rome" and "the Titanic" produced in last century, the outstanding music works "the Fate" composed by Beethoven, and the valuable paintings "the Monalisa" produced by great artist Vinci, a large variety of impressing works of art have obtained so overwhelmingly achievements that almost everyone would be dazzled before the brilliance of them. Then, as to the question "who provides something of lasting value to our society?", the answer is certain. It is the artist, who creates the lasting and immortal values!
To begin with, it is the art that embodies the value in most cases. What is the value? The value is something that enables us to identify good and bad, virtue and evil. Without value, the society would definitely be in chaos. Just imagine, if people in the history do not cherish anything, on the contrary, they are fraught with hatred, envy and aggressiveness, what would the world be like? Thus, our civilization would be withered or even destroyed. Fortunately, there exists the art. Arts, the concentrated expression of human beings' wisdom, culture, civilization and perspective of the natural world and emotional world, hold up like a boat the value us human beings have been appreciated and cherished for a long time. For example, (just take the example in the first paragraph) in the film of "the Titanic", we can feel the eternal theme of humans--the love. When jack gives up the hope of living and instead gives it to his true love Rose, and when he murmurs "live up" and slowly releases his hands until submerged in the abysmal sea, the heart of thousands of audiences would break up with tears flowing across the face. Not only the film depicts the love between boys and girls, it also further represents the true broad love among the human beings as a whole. Just by taking a look at the musicians' behavior before the impending death, we shall see how outstanding humans are! The lasting value is also found during the process of salvage. Therefore, it is art that expresses the eternal value of human beings and gives the society really something of lasting value.
Secondly, it is the artist who is the creator of the art that after all create or produce the arts. Just like the art carry the value, the artist carry the art Obviously, no artists, no arts. Arts are not some easy-caught simple issues. The pursuit of arts requires the acute perception and the deep love in humans and the world. Arts, which include novels, films, paintings, music, drama etc, also need the genius in art field to create. Not for Shakespeare, people nowadays would not have the opportunity to taste the beautiful works of his. Not for Vincent van Gogh, people today would never know there exist such valuable paintings. Not for Zhang Yimou, one of the greatest modern directors in China, people in the western world would not have a try of the Chinese appreciation of the love. Hence, the artist creates arts and the great artist creates arts of lasting value.
Now that it is the art that embodies the lasting value and it is the artist who creates the arts, then it would be ground to say that it is the artist who gives something of lasting value to the society. And this is maybe the probable reason for why the artists are so respected or admired by so many peoples all over the world.
However, I do not mean to overlook or ignore the importance of the critic who evaluates works of art. In fact, the critic plays a significant role in the process of evaluating and finding out good works of art. Critics are full of knowledge of art and often give the artists some relevant and valuable suggestions and even inspirations. In some manner, they are the catalysts of artists and arts. To some extent, they build up a bridge between the public and artists and precipitate the velocity of creating of arts of lasting value.
In conclusion, the artist creates the art and contributes something of lasting value to the whole society while the critic helps evaluate the works of art and makes necessary feedbacks to artists. They both help make our society more animated and teach us what love, probity, etc are. And most important is that it is ARTISTS, not critics, who give something of eternal value.
