"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.

Expressiveness of an artist is limitless.Whether he may be a musician,film director,poet.or painter.Art captures diversity, culture,spiritual,emotion,linguistic,and traditional values of society.An art conveys a message to the society.Value of an art and its popularity depends on the message it carry,creativeness etc.An art may carry forward a positive message or a negative to society if there is no critics. So analysis of an art is tantamount to that of making it.An artist can create an art without any limits so a critic evaluate the art in different parameters. Together they can give best value to society.

Let us consider an example of a painting,One of the popular artists in the world "Hussain". His recent painting on Hindu God; a community criticized his work. Since the art hurt traditional belief of that community;people ostracized him.This incident clearly indicates the effect of art when directly pass on to society bypassing a critic. A critic when it comes to evaluating healthiness of a magnum-opus and its effects on society.An artist can work on his own style but a critic can evaluate his work in all respects.

One more reason why critic plays equally important role as of an artist is commercialization of art.Consider a music. There are variety of music types like Karnatic,folk,vocal,filmy songs,pop songs etc.Decades ago people use to write poems related to their daily life and they sing it.The song conveys a message to society which was called folk music. Now a days because of commercialization there has been a lot of change in music composition and music. Lucrative minds bent on songs which compiled with immoral values. So there are system to evaluate healthiness of a song. If it contains vulgar,violence then they are not released. SO here also critic plays an important role in filtering healthy message from a piece of art.

Artist has no boundaries for his creativity. He need not to consider any social values. So imagine a there is no critic to evaluate an art; an art pass on to society without a critic.Our Society learn many things from music,painting,novels etc.So they get influenced by the art,how immoral it may be. We face effect of such works in short period of time. For example a recent book about "Existence of lord Basaveshwara" created chaos in the society. Eventually ended up brutal causalities between two communities of people.

Finally Artists can express their views through a medium like music,painting,novel etc;a critic can only evaluate arts healthiness,value in different parameters.So that an art should not directly pass on to readers which can prove to be disastrous.Critic role equally important as of an artist. Together they can give wonderful and valuable arts to society.
