131"The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."
The assertion points out the function of art to reveal the hidden ideas and impulses of a society.I hold the positive
opinion even though some may argue the creation of art is limited to a minority of artists,which leads the art works to
constrain by the artists' own thought.Actually most inspiration of art works arises from life,and the idea behind the work
unavoidably connects with that of the society,which fits any form of art such as movie,literature,painting,etc.
Turning first to the creation of art,great art works especially literature always need the adequate experience of life and
understanding of the thought during that time.For example,it is believed the outstanding stories Pride and
Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility created by Jane Austen could based on the beautiful love story she had as young.All her
novels are witty, warm and ironic portraits of the privileged classes of 18th- and 19th-century England.When it comes to
painting,conscientious observation is important for painters in order to perfect their creation.The impressing Judas in
"Final Dinner" is the result of several days Leonardo da Vinci spent with thieves and burglars. "Final Dinner" stands out
among the same-period paintings which is about religion and humanistic spirit.
What's more,artists always figure out the essence of life and make it more distinct for the public by using some
skills,such as exaggeration and comparison,in their art works."Cry" Edvard Munch seems to make no sense people at
the first glance,however,it is the abstract that makes the feeling,about life,love,death,it is conveying ten times
stronger.On balance,art could embody the hidden ideas of a society.
In addition,some art works which contains a kind of impulse could inspire people to move forward though all the
difficulties.Take the movie "Sea biscuit" based on a real story for example,it tells a miracle that a lame and semi-blind
jockey with his thin horse,whose four legs are bent, surprisingly won the competition.The spirit manifested by the movie
excites everyone.Besides,the real story that the movie based on happended in 1938 and consequentially served as a
very significant inspiration for American people to get through the Great Depression.
All in all,art is such a good carrier that we can be informed of the hidden ideas of the society and excited by the hidden
implusions of a society.Art and life always runs along hand in hand.Appreciate a building,read a novel,admire a
painting,and you can know life more. |
