题目分析
翻译
一些人认为:政府应该资助艺术家来帮助艺术蓬勃发展,同时让人们都能得以接触到艺术。另一些人认为:政府对艺术的资助威胁到了艺术的纯洁性。[说明:写一篇文章,讨论哪一个观点更加接近你自己的观点,并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时,你需要处理上面提到的两个观点]
指导
写一篇文章,讨论你同意或反对这个观点,以及支持观点的理由达到怎样的程度。(Claim – Reason) "本题为两道老GRE的ISSUE题目综合——ISSUE101 ""Governments should provide funding for artists so that the arts can flourish and be available to all people""和ISSUE85 ""Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts"".本题讨论政府应当对艺术采取的行为以及其目的和作用。 第一种观点中:对于题目中的前半句,可以从政府扶持艺术的正面与负面作用以及对艺术“物质、精神”两层次的影响去展开分析。对于后半句,可以从政府行为的必要性以及人们不同的需求层次上进行论述。 第二种观点里:给出的观点认为政府资助对艺术的纯洁性造成了威胁,具有负面作用。本题的分析可以从物质需求和精神追求两个角度展开,需要注意以下三点: 1、单词解释——Integrity一词比较有争议,这里选取韦氏字典中纯洁性的解释:firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values : incorruptibility 2、逻辑关系——无论是正面作用还是负面作用,都要建立在“政府”和“艺术”之间,不要跳出限定范围。 2、选取例子——梵高等人已经被用烂了,这个题目和艺术有关,小说、电影、音乐、绘画等都可以包括,有很多事例是可以使用。"
1. 艺术的蓬勃发展需要什么基础?艺术如何让所有人都可以接触到?(可以从物质和精神两方面来思考)
回答: 物质基础,一个艺术家能吃饱穿暖并有稳定的居所有利于创造出好的艺术创作,而不会为了生存而做一些满足大众欣赏水平能卖的出去的艺术作品;单靠艺术家的力量不可能让所有人都接触到,单靠艺术家也很难将它寄于作品的精神传播出去,需要政府投资办一些艺术展,文化月之类的活动,将艺术展现在大众面前。这样一方面能提高艺术家的物质收入,另一方面还可以将艺术家的精神传播出去
2. 政府资助艺术的目的是什么?对政府有什么好处?政府资助能满足问题一中艺术的哪些需求?
回答: 1提高国民的艺术修养,形成好的社会风气。国民修养提高了,那么社会上的犯罪行为也会减少,对于国家的治安来说有好处。2有助于提高国家声誉 3 有助于提升地方经济效益或都市再生,如西班牙毕尔巴鄂古根海姆博物馆。首先是艺术家生活条件,还有增大艺术传播的途径。
3. 政府资助对艺术会有哪些负作用?请结合具体事例简述。
回答: 1 艺术丧失自主性,因为通过补助,政府有权利决定何种是“好”的艺术和展览。如美国参议院赫尔姆斯(Jesse Helms)对抗美国国家艺术基金会(NEA)就是一知名的案例。1989年,由NEA资助的艺术家麦博索尔普在《完美时刻》(The Perfect Moment)展览中展出与同性恋有关的作品。 展览组织者是宾夕法尼亚大学当代艺术学院,获得了3万美元的NEA补助,计划在费城、芝加哥、华盛顿等城市巡回展出。该展览触怒了参议员赫尔姆斯,导致参议院投票表决制止NEA支持“淫秽或粗鄙”的作品。该事件突显出艺术自由与权力掌握之间的角力问题;2 公平问题,社会哲学家欧内斯特·凡·登·哈格(Ernest van den Haag)认为政府无法分辨艺术的好坏,因而会一视同仁分配津贴补助。但如果以一视同仁的方式来分配款项,就会吸引冒充的艺术家,大笔的政府预算会浪费在制作假货上。更糟糕的是,当津贴补助建造假艺术的世界之际,真正的艺术家更难成功。
4. 艺术在获得政府资助之后,相对于之前会有什么样的变化?这些变化有哪些是正面的,哪些是负面的?
回答: 正面:对于艺术创作收入尚不能完全支持自己的生活或不知名的艺术家来说,政府资助后可以保证他们有可能发挥艺术天分创造出有价值的艺术品。 负面;艺术家和艺术机构过分依赖政府资助,从而损害艺术探索自由精神的本质,并扼杀艺术创作的活力
5. 是否存在为了保持艺术纯洁性而拒绝政府资助的事例?是否存在接受政府资助之后丧失艺术纯洁性的事例?如果有,请简单描述事例。
回答:
6. 艺术的纯洁性是指什么?包括那些方面?怎样的行为就属于威胁或者丧失艺术的纯洁性?

作文
It is the responsibility for the gevernment to give the talented artists a favor to sread their works.Even if arts ought to keep pure and spiritiful,it aslo needs the supportments of the foundamental materials ,such as exhibitions,the income of artists and so on.However,I think that government's excessive interference will disturb the integrity of art because government always knows a little about art so that some inferior works will get the patronage.
It is beneficial for artists themseves to accept the government funding of the arts.On the one hand,it can improve the income of artists through some displays and various ways to sell their works.On the other hand,artists are able to produce high quality works and spread them to the public.In addition,governemnt can get the benefits from it.Elegant arts can create a good personality for the public.Arts constraints tend to be active,spontaneous,thus eliminating the potential social instability.For example,National Foundation for Youth Orchestra System provides free musical instruments and Orchestra Ensemble training for all children and young people,and consequentlty reduce the juvenile crime rate,strengthen family and community relationship.Arts can aslo expand the nation's influence on the world.Besides,governemnt's funding of arts can promote the development of a region.For example,China holds Fair Park in Beijing this year which appeal to a great many people all parts from world,but few people know that this area in Beijing was erstwhile a garbage dump.
Nevertheless,government interference will more or less disturb the integrity of arts.Blind and large amount of funding will pose serious effects on the arts developments.First,arts will lose its freedom,because government will decide which works are good.Some artists create arts to cater to the taste of government.For example,an artists funded by the NEA exhibited gay works in The Perfect Moment exhibition,which angered Senator Helms,leading to the Senate Vote on the suppression of NEA support for this kind of works.The events highlights the issue of artistic freedom and the power.Second,fairness can't be satisfied.Government always fail to distinguish whether a works is good or not,and they patronage all artists equally.As a result,some general level artists can get redundant funding.In a word, the freedom and fairness of arts are hard to done by the government.
What is the integrity of arts.In my opinion,if arts can develop freely without the limit of materials and government force,artists express thier idea completely in their works,the arts is pure and natural.Both lacking support of government or excessively interference will affect arts development.Some traditional arts threatened to extinct need the protection of government,and some original arts need the proper ecouragement of government.So the function of government is of great importance.
In conclusion.Government should realize the largest perview that they can involve in and give enough space to arts.Besides,arts development rely on the government's funding so that it can flourish and be available to all people.
