"It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1。毫无疑问,艺术家作为创作主体起了最主要的作用。
2。但是,评论家也会对创作有影响,一方面,是好的推动作用。
3。另一方面,是一定的消极作用。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who gives society something of constant value, the artist or the critic? The author strongly prefers the former. In terms of great contribution the artist make, the critic's dual function can not be neglected. I agree with the speaker's broad assertion that the most important role the artist play doubtless, however, the contribution of the critic is also indispensable.
To begin with, I must concede the significant achievement the artist make themselves. Every piece of work results from the capability of artist, consisting of intellect, inspiration, passion and so on. The artist have their own picture of the world, more colorful, imaginary, abstract, comprehensive, sometimes even different than ordinary people, which make them deserve the title as artist. Meanwhile, the producing impulse comes from the artist's own inspiration, no relationship with the critic. It is unimaginable that the critic activate the artist to produce. The initial inspiration comes from the artist, so it is the same with procedure of composition. It is the artists' talent that make the work lasting value. Thus, we say the artist make most contribution to lasting value.
However, in the procedure of making lasting value, the critic play a dual role. On the one hand, the critic can give advice to the artist in order to improve their works, which is more useful to some young artists. After all, the critics have seen so many masterpieces that their form their own aesthetic criterion . Sometimes, the critic themselves also are artists . In other word, the critic are more experienced than the young who can benefit from the critic’s words. In addition, the lasting value may also be too intricacy to be understood by the ordinary because of the author's prominent talent. The critic establish a bridge between the talent and the ordinary. They explain the deep meaning to the viewers as well as disperse the eminent thought throughout society. Once not accepting by the ordinary, the talent thought makes no sense at any rate. For example, without the critics, we can not understand the Monet's thought in his works. Similarly, no one will pay attention to the thinking about humanity in the movie lord of ring rather than colorful picture. Hence, from this sense, the critic also play a rather important role to the lasting value.
On the other hand, the critic may play a negative role as well. As concerned above, the critics take the job as a bridge between the talent and the ordinary. Usually their words about the work is more convincing than the work itself. Van Gogh’s miserable life is an example. He gains the negative all his life, resulting in his mental problem indirectly. Assuming that his experience is on the contrary, it is very likely we would not lose such a prominent artist so early. Therefore, the critics also have to pay attention to their dual power carefully, preventing making the same tragedy again.
In sum, once coming to the issue that who make the greatest contribution, the eminent function artists themselves make is the answer doubtless. However, as concerned before, the dual role played by critic also should be paid attention, which is either affirmative or the opposite.
