我把我修改后的贴上了,只是语句润色了下,其他大观点没换……
While not denying the luster from these artists dazzle the whole world, I think the speaker above concedes too hastily, who totally turns a blind eye to critics' contribution. We should attach due weight to these critics, whose contribution is usually combined with the achievements of artists. Besides that, these critics also serve as a guide for the public to explore the essence of these art works. And with regards to becoming an excellent critic, the requirements are even more demanding than that of some artists.
Not everyone is qualified to be a critic, whose works involves more than judging something. In the first place, the critics should take a good command of knowledge within arts fields--- --- novels, films, music--- --- that is everything that can be defined as the form of arts. To from a comprehensive view, the critics should be familiar with all of them in that art is an inseparable integration, in itself. Secondly, Keen perception of the society and sensitivity towards to psychology of these artists are also necessary for a good critic, who, in certain aspects, can even be called “polymath”. As an artist, he or she can only engross in the fields, which captures his or her interest. In order to be a critic, however, the person has to be engaged in various fields. It is by adopting such an interdisciplinary knowledge that critics explore the values, polish them and eventually spread them to the public.
Even though the work of critics is quite demanding, their contribution is easily ignored by the public, for such kind of work, which really creates something valuable for the society, is usually invisible. For example, various literary salons, prevailing in Europe in 19th century, invited famous writers and critics at that time to exchange their opinions and share something in common. Usually, some writers’ unpublished novels would be taken as a main subject under discussion. Many influential critics would give their advices, verbally or nonverbally. Probably, some inspired writers would absorb these advices and modify their works, which turned out to be a great success in history. Great achievements in the arts usually call for joint efforts from both the artists and critics. The reason why people usually neglect the part played by the critics lies in that they would not directly bring those tangible things other than some critiques to the society, whereas artists would. Lord Chesterfield once said that “knowledge gives weight, achievements gives luster, most people see rather than weigh”. It is no surprising that the critics were often dwarfed by the luster of artists.
Apart from that impetus originated from the critics to advance the development of art, the instructions from these critics can also help the public to better savor these great achievements in art. It is commonly accepted that in the works of arts may hide certain values, the values that could otherwise be overlooked by artists, not to mention the public. So it is relied upon the work from critics that these hidden values be explored and exposed to the public. For example, the critics interpret short brushstroke and intense colors in Van Gogh’s painting as the expression of vibration of life, which dispelled the wrong stereotype held by most people that his paintings were meaningless and deviated the traditional notion about impressionism. Therefore, the critics are important and even crucial to convey the hidden values to the public, whose understanding the ideas of artists are usually beyond.
As it is said above, to be a good critic is not easy. The great advance of arts can't be made without the contribution of critics. They do deliver something valuable to the society, but people usually ignore it.
