issue144 It is the artist, not the critic who gives society something of lasting value.
The speaker contends that artists always give something of lasting worth on us, while the critics do not. I concede that lots of art in the past still has significant effect on individuals today. However, we should not ignore the perpetual history value of both artist and critics.
Admittedly, people always pay more attention on art, such as novel, music, film, painting, and so on, rather than critics work evaluating them at the time the art produced. The significant aspect of art is its contribution on our life for at least two reasons. On one hand, art enhance life by adding beauty to our surroundings. It can be illustrated by the paintings holding everywhere in our house, classroom and restaurants. On the other hand, good work of artist, symphonies, ballets, operas, for example, give most of us an aesthetic feeling, making us comfortable and pleasure. On the contrary, people always take the viewpoint that the sight of critics who were a long distance away from us was too short and the view too narrow to find the connotation of the works of arts. A case in point is the dismissal of the esteemed critics to Shakespeare because of his failure to conforming to neo-classical style of unity. When the individuals today heard about Voltaire's rejection of Shakespeare as barbaric, they may not take it seriously.
However, from the view of history, both artist and critics work help historian to find the culture of that time during which the work was produced. Art cannot be independent from society and characteristic social status he or she located in. First of all, art spawns from society, and it is the reflection of notion, values and trends at that time. For example, the American novel Gone with the wind, written by Margaret Mitchell, has gained much fame throughout the world for generations because it vividly recollects the history of the American Civil War. Secondly, art is the product of different social classes and a good work must serve them respectively in the artistic way. That, from a perspective, explains how we divide art works into the classics and the popular songs or folk songs.
The perpetual history value of critic composition lies on the vital role of critics. Critic who was familiar with a particular artist and his or her works witnessed the bloom and fruit of artist’s creation. Moreover, from the view of critic, we can know the mainstream ideology and the culture at that time. A case in point is the severity fustigate on symphony NO.7 of Beethoven, , which is the signature of the transition from classical to romantic composition to in his creative life. Hence, we can find that classicism, which is guided by force of Mozart and some other classicists, is more popular and can be widely accepted by contemporary musician and audience. Therefore, critic articles are also cherished by historian for its lasting historical worth on researching the surroundings and background why and how the special artist style came out.
In sum, when we marvel at the beauty and aesthetic value of art of the past, we should not despise the lasting value of art and critic’s work in historical perspective.
