218"In order for any work of art—whether film, literature, sculpture, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people."
The speaker asserts that any work of art---whether film, literature, sculpture or a song--must be understandable to most people in order to have merit. 前面这句对原文的重复最好可以改改,你说呢?I concede that being understandable to the majority help work of art accomplish its goals, however, it is not the prerequisite for artistic work to have merit.
(艺术作品反映艺术家的思想,不一定被大众理解)
The first object of arts lies in presenting artists' distinct perspectives toward the world, which is not related to understanding of the majority加个maybe吧,否则太绝对了. Universally acknowledged that artists commonly have perspectives beyond ordinary people, much valuable work of art may not be understandable and accepted by the society. For example, Impressionists---such as Monet, Magnet, and Von Gogh, concentrated on the play of light over objects and stressed vivid contrasts between colors in the sunlight and shade. Their achievements presents artists' unique angle of inspecting natural world, which does not be understandable to their peers. Similarly, German composer Beethoven completed Ninth Symphony, a work which summarizes much of his achievements and influence, even after losing hearing. The vision of struggle and triumph manifested in the work comes from Beethoven’s confidence encountering paramount difficulties. This new style of music does not accord with established music rules, 到是这个地方改多些笔墨了thus was not understandable to other people in some period and even dismissed by esteemed critics of his time. In brief, much work可数的 of art possesses eternal value, even though not being understandable to most people.
(艺术作品提升人们的思想,不要求被大众完全理解)
When it is comes to another objects of arts, which lies in enhancing human's spirits, work worksof art does not require most people to understand the meaning of arts. Work of art usually present subjective feelings of artists, common people without profound comprehension of lives cannot completely understand its meanings. For example, Da Vinci's " Mona Lisa" and " the last supper", cited as some of best examples of "true art" in the world, bring the enjoyment of beauty to people. Similarly, Michelangelo's sculpture of “David” and his incredible paintings on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, which are revered as some of the pinnacles of artistic achievement, bring about enhancing religious spirits for people. One real merit of artistic work involves inspiring the imagination and lifting the spirits of people. Even though people cannot completely understand the meanings of arts, the work of art accomplish its goal of lifting people's spirits.
前面这两段似乎在说一个道理,就是作品的思想性不容易被人理解,我认为艺术家的思想的表达被人们理解了后,就是对人们思想的升华,这个界线比较难把握啊。
(艺术作品给人们带来娱乐方式,要求被部分人理解,而不一是被大众理解)
Aside from foregoing objects of artistic work, some work of art also aims at entertaining people. With the development of mass media and tele-communication tools, especially the Internet, work of art has been much closer to people's daily life. Some people may assert that the criterion of modern artistic work lies in whether it can be understandable to the majority or not. However, people should not overlook this assertion confuse the "true merit" of artistic work with its economic value. Being understandable to most people is the criterion of popular arts, but not one of really valuable arts. Work of art having merits may bring about entertainment to certain people, but not necessarily the majority. Moreover, merely focusing on catering to the mass appetite may result in the losing the fundamental goals of arts.
我个人认为这篇文章的问题在于:过于片面仅从音乐绘画着手,缺乏足够的说服力,思路有些窄,没有拓展开,仅停留在观众的理解能力的基础上,让论证不够丰满,还有你这里说会失去真正根本的目的,那艺术的根本目的到底是什么呢?这个地方是不是一个关键的入手点呢?
In sum, being understandable to most people is not the prerequisite to work of art to have merit, because the ultimate goal of art lies in presenting artists' distinct perspectives toward the world, lifting people's minds and entertaining people, which is unrelated with the understanding of people.
文笔,米就不说什么了,你向来很好的。关键是思路似乎没打开,停在表面。对于艺术的价值和目标缺乏一个明确的界定和论证。个人观点,仅攻参考,还有需要我改哪篇,请发悄悄话给我 |
