政府应该为艺术家提供资助以便于艺术能够繁荣发展并且是所有人都能够享受艺术。
Government’s funding for artists is a double-edged sword.
1. On the one hand, without government’s funding, many artists could hardly survive in real life.
2. On the other hand, government’s funding could create dependent artists who serve not the interests of the public but those of the government.
3. It is crucial that government does not interfere with the artists’ freedom of expression while granting them financial aids.
政府和艺术
艺术(绘画、音乐、文学等等)揭示了那些隐藏的理念和社会的脉动。
While this assertion has merit, I think it unfairly generalizes about art. Consider two particular art forms: architecture and painting.
1. In more important architecture, one consistently sees a reflection of society’s ideas and urges.
2. However, in more important paintings of the most recent century one sees instead the artists’ personal and idiosyncratic vision of an aesthetic ideal.
