Just as an aphorism goes,"True art will be luminous with time flying ", I believe that insightful values of art exist in art itself, rather than in the critical judgments. Thus, I fundamentally agree with this assertion that artists are more important than critic in playing the role to create values and extend values of arts.

To begin with, it's the artists who endow life and soul to art, yet critics only adhere to these art works for living. The born of art works are indispensable with the endeavor of artists. Only with these works are born can people get the enjoyment art works bring out. It is Van Gogh who painted the "sun flower". It is Beethoven who composed those symphonies. It is Shakespeare who created the vivid characters of Julia and Romeo. Without the effort of these great artists, art dies. Moreover, what makes an art work everlasting is the glorious soul hiding in the art works, rather than the ephemeral critique. We can find hope and persistence behind the sun flower. Unwieldiness to feat is profoundly embodied with the composement of Beethoven in his nadir time of his life. Also just because of the love story written by Shakespeare, we are moved deeply with the true love which is rare in practical world. All in all, without artists, no art works would be created in the world and undoubtedly it would be a tragedy of human history; no mention what to criticize for critics.

Furthermore, profound and authentic significence inside in the art works can only be originated by artists, not by critics. As a matter of fact, not only individual psychological resonance but also social or national sense of art works ascribe to the artists who invent them. On one hand, art works get popular only when they can spire the psychological recognition of ordinary people. It's the human instinct to find similar feelings and thus get the identity of them in the society, and then get the vent of their deep feelings. Art works undoubtedly has such capability. Taking common sense of people for example, people easily feel excited about the heroes in movies as everyone has a heroic dream, and also, dolorous feelings in music can easily make us feel that we are not alone in the world as many people are suffering from pains every day as well. That's how art works and what artists contribute. On the other hand, also as an entity to convey the national or social sense, art works reflect the intention of artists in several facets. Famous Chinese opera about a woman general in ancient times, well-illustrated the patriotism of Chinese people, has been passed along from generation to generation in China with its lasting value. Equally, Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper to some extent described the Christian history and thus reflects the author's insight understanding of religion. On the contrary, without these artists, critics can never really have the entities to deliver the information about how art influence the world of mankind, both in the respective of individuals and societies.

Moreover, though critics in some degree help bridge the artists and the public who are enjoying art works, they have their own limitations due to their identities properties. Firstly, evaluating, as subjective as it is, is largely dependent on the opinions or positions these critics are involved in. To draw one egg, one thousand people have one thousand figures. Does the true value diminish if facing a denouncement? Does the imitation last long even with lavish adulates? True value never fades away together with the negative opinions on it. Next, it has been illustrated many times in history that the valuable art works get fierce criticism instead of compliment because of their uniqueness and preeminent features. Once ever, Van Gogh was recognized as crazy; the wild rose oil painting was not accepted for several centuries but inevitably recommended as the represents of a sullen style faction with its strong character. History distinguishes everything. Last but maybe most important, in my opinion, common people may play a more important role than critics in extending the lasting values of art as they are the majority of the society. All in all, critics are not the main power to inherit the wealth of art.

To sum up, artists are the people who create something of long lasting values and convey these values to the public. Mainly with the efforts from artists, the spirits of our humans make a progress.

Just as an aphorism goes, “True art will be luminous with time flying ", I believe that insightful values of art exist in art itself, rather than in the critical judgments. (这句话有点没有看懂，说艺术的有洞察力的价值不在于评论上？这道题应该是说Value而不是Value of art吧)Thus, I fundamentally agree with this assertion that artists are more important than critic in playing the role to create values and extend values of arts.
