Development of art and literature

If literature and art are discussed together, you will find that they can be divided into two categories. One is the accumulation of pure emotions, because people own too much inner sadness or despair that they have to express them invariably as words or music. The meaning of these works is to give strong resonance to the viewer, and Some comforts that we are not alone and painful. It asks the viewer a question - everyone has a dilemma that they can't get out of, and there are so many doubts about life that have no answer. It’s a method that these creators use to release their hesitation, they have no answers in their hearts, either. Radiohead belongs to this kind, and I can’t say that I know the value of this form of literary and artistic existence. Probably is to comfort each other with human strength, admit that we are small and powerless as individuals, but after all, there are still people around us, facing common confusion, so we hug, tell each other to be strong, tell each other that everything is instantaneous, and everything will pass. This is the power of this kind of literature and art, comes not from the work, but from people around us.

There is another kind of literature and art that I admire. It has the glory of divinity - in fact, the characteristic of God comes from human being, it stands for the best part of human beings. It brings light to others. Light comes directly from it, redempting people and making people calm. We call it truly noble art, such as Bach's music. Podler said that art is dedication, and he is right. Artists are also human beings, but they divide their best part and put them into the art they devote themselves to. They lose themselves and burn their lives. Mozart was poor, but his music was eternal beauty and harmony; the vitality in Van Gogh’s sunflower was the vitality he took from himself; Nietzsche's madness and creation; Li Bai's spirit and Su Shi's heroism, out of reality, out of life, they use the infinite power of love and beauty to face the mediocrity and limitedness of life. The creating motivation of this art is love, not pain. Tolstoy's war and peace, Hugo's tragic world, Dante's divine song, creating motivation is love; Dostoyevsky’s sin and punishment, creating motivation is pain, his doubts are also our doubts, people in this website prefer the latter, of course, it has its value, but human beings are so complex, literature and art pieces created by human beings are also so much complicated. Use them to infect you, but don't let them occupy you. We humans have faith and many doubts, just like the sun and the moon. While the moonlight itself is a reflection from the sun.
