"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.
Both of them have values that last to the end because the eternal effects of the art. They may cause something bad, but all in all, critics and artists will give us the equal lasting value.
Artists have tremendous effects on the society. From the novel, we can understand how we used to be someone and what we are going to be; inspired by the imagination; moved by the love. If a boy and a girl love each other and people around them give them the frown, think about Romeo and Juliet's story and they will know what they should do, according to the lasting value of the love illustrated by Shakespeare. From the films, we learn a lot of fundamental things dismissed by us, for example, Avatar warns us the problem about respect the belief of others and tells us to use the technology rationally. And what we get from the music is the belief in truth freedom peace and love. For example, the Woodstock 69 music festival influences the baby-boomers, who were tired of Vietnam War, hunting for the freedom more than generation of Washington. Green Day, Sum41, New Found Glory let people know the true emptiness and loneliness of young people, Bob Marley told us 'stand up, get up, get up for your rights’, John Lennon gently teach us with his guitar: ‘Give peace a chance', Eagle make people really feel ‘love will keep us alive'. From the different aspects of the art, one thing has deep inside my heart, art give the lasting value, thus the artist give society something of lasting value like truth, love and freedom.
Critics also have great influence, without whom most of us can not get deep into knowing the art. The value of them lasts as long as the artists. Critics must be someone who first understand the art. They try the new things and retry the classical things then tell people whether they are good or not. They are able to not only discover the new things, but also rediscover the new things from the classical art. So maybe in the Van Gogh's century he is not recognized, but latter until the end, he is admired by all the living people. As the time goes by, Homer's poetries do not dim, but shine on, because we rediscover the lasting value of it once and once again due to the critics. Then we can draw an reasonable conclusion: they are value as lasting as the artists.
However, they can all cause disasters. The famous Rock and Roll song Fade to Black by Metallica cause a lot of teenagers killed by them. Too many fans died beside the spot light in the rock show: without lives, what is live sound? Critics undervalue the value of the art. Famous Van Gogh's time's people may ask question who is Van Gogh because the foolishness of all the critics in his time. Van Gogh's tragedy is the catastrophe of the art world, why can not he be born in the Renaissance, when most artists was accepted and supported?
Where there is art, there is value, which is created by the artists and recognized by the critics, so we can see them equally and do something rational to let the good things happen instead of the disasters. For example, think the art over, respect the artists and critics.
思路很清晰,句法词法变化丰富实用的得当,唯一一个建议就是,“艺术的价值在于对社会有影响”并不是很公认的说法,不像我们看起来一般都能接受。措辞上变一下就行。比如为了“美”,为了“心灵”,什么的,读者接受起来就不会多想了。 |
