144"It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value."
*a person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc.

    At first glance some may agree with the author that it is the artist,not the critic who give
society something of lasting value.But after a careful examination,it would be clear that fuction
of critics are as crucial as artists in the development of art.Lacking either of them should diminish
the value of art to society.
  
    Artists, as the creator of  original works,makes the most essential contribution to art,thus to society.
Since great artists are often recognized as the symbols of their time,with their works appreciated not
only by their contemporaries,but also by people living long after they expired.Such as LiBai in Tang Dynasty,
Leonardo Da Vinci in 15th Italy,and Ludwig Van Beethoven in 18th Europe.What All these famous names
share in common is that they create great works,influenced people,and finally defined their time.That's what
true artists do.

    However,critics should not be ignored in the process of  making art understood by citizens
and by evaluating art works and supporting artists make art complete and lively. First,
sometimes artists' work are delicate and sometimes elusive,making their value not easily discovered.
So it is critics' job to evaluate them and make them scrutable to common people.
If crtics hadn't discovered the greatness of Vincent Van Gogh,it would be impossible for
us now to appreciate his fascinating paintings. Art should be regarded as a gift to mankind,
not just being a private property of the artists,and without a thoughtful evaluation,
works would become meaningless and unavailable to you and me.

   Second，appropriate and professional criticism on art works are beneficient to artists,making them realize theiradvantages and shortcuts. Artists can become well-skilled through practise,but only through learning from cogitate criticism can they develop a better sense of art.Nobody can make progress by sticking to his own ideas,not taking advice from others,the same is true for artists,especially before they become well known to public.For example,Verrocchio,a renowned Florentine painter and the teacher of Da Vinci,was very strick to him.There is no doubt that without his orders and critical comments,Da Vinci would not be so great as he is now.This shows that critics play an important role even before the great artists compose their works.                                

    Finally,some critics support artists by finacially help them. Taking the Medici Family as example,
during  Renaissance they were able to bring Florence under their family's power, allowing for a good atmosphere for art to thrive.Their financial support was significant because artists at that time mainly
depend on the commision of their works to make a living.Thanks to their support,the Renaissance art
could flourish.

    Through out the history we see many brilliant artist didn't enjoy a successful career,their work not known
to public,also many great works were buried by improvident and conservative critics.What we really need is
the co-existence of brilliant artists and thoughtful critics in order to leave something valuable to our society.

天，楼主的行文很流畅呀，结构合理，这些方面我是望尘莫及，就不搬门弄斧了。
而且楼主选择二者都重要，重点强调critics的重要性这个角度来写，确实很好，3段的展开也很充分，例子也relevent.楼主第二篇就可以写到这个水平，真是牛人。另小声问一句，是限时写的吗？

我的楼主有时间也帮我看看：https://bbs.gter.net/viewthre ... p;page=1&extra=

楼主文笔不错，就不多夸奖了~ 只提一个小问题：楼主觉得哪些人算critics? Wiki上对art critic的定义：An art critic is a person who specializes in evaluating art. Their written critiques, or reviews, are published in newspapers, magazines, books and on web sites. 第四段Verrocchio那个例子，达芬奇的老师，我觉得貌似作为critics来看待不是很合适。一点拙见，欢迎讨论~
