TOPIC: ISSUE144 - "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.
=======================================================================

Artist could not only make people's lives more colorful but also can leave lasting value for society. Even critic brings evaluation to public and do guide to public among large amount of artworks, the most significant arts have leaven by exceptional artist.

Firstly, without art critics, people could not make a correct decision on choice arts which is best to appreciate and to purchase be themselves, especially among the varieties artifacts in art theory. For instance, thousands of movies work out each year, general have no enough time to watch everyone, although they would like to enjoy as much as they can, they have to doing their work and scholarship during workdays. Critics can help public solve this problem, they research and watch most films as their job and write assessments of each one they have analyzed, and then the better one they will recommend to community. It is so valuable that this critic help people choice the better firm to watch and even give some guide to public and society.
     
However, the contribution of evaluator all based on the works of artist, without the excellent or commonplace outputs by artists, what could be analyzed to between critics? Whatever the quality of artwork it has, or the value it can bring to society, it due to the ability of artists. For example, the excellent movie such as AVATOR, people willing to going to the cinema without read appreciation at first time, they just appealed by the story of the film and the new-technical of 3D. The successful case prove the truth that if the art is so appealing that could have value, and have no relationship with critic.

Furthermore, the lasting value that artist bring to society have deep resources. There is no evaluators in previously, and the cannons even be reserve and have important role in both history of human-being processing and art. The paintings that reserve well in varieties of churches still now on, although it may not painted by famous artists, the value it has in religious can not be measured by society. In addition, there was no critic to assess whether this painting were high-quality or not. So the situation and value could not be decided by critic, but society and people do.

To sum up, the critic could be guide to public among large amount of art. But the virtually value is due to most artist, whether the arts they had brought to society had lasting value or not, the contribution they made could not be erasable in history.
