问题     The Romantic Movement emphasized the creative artist rather than the natural world as the origin of beauty.【F1】According to the Romantics, it was by encountering ideas and feelings crystallized in works of art that we could obtain the oneness with the scheme of things which the Enlightenment philosophers had looked for in the works of nature.The self-expression of theartist was endowed with the authority of revelation. Originality rather than convention became the criterion of artistic success, and the individual transgression attained a value as great as any obedience to social norms.
   【F2】In our time this Romantic conception of the artist has been taken to such extremes that we no longer know whether art and beauty have much to do with one another.Many people conclude that art is not what it was once cracked up to be, that it is not about the beautiful, the grand and the transcendent, but that it is a skill like any other and that the greatest part of the skill is self-advertisement.
    Today people are a little more cynical than they were. But this is not because they have lost the interest in beauty or the need to encounter it in their daily lives. They have lost faith in art as a way of supplying that need.【F3】This loss is a painful one, for the reason that it is difficult to return to the 18th-century love of nature in order to enjoy what was promised by art, namely salvation from the trivial and a face-to-face encounter with the truth. Nature, too, is not what it was once cracked up to be. It has lost its former status as the open book in which we could read ourselves.
   【F4】Yet the need for beauty remains since we see this in all the areas where people make choices concerning the way things look, or feel or sound.People may have given up on art, and they may be skeptical towards natural beauty. But they still design their own lives, searching for agreement and for a shared sense of what matters and why. This search for aesthetic order is not just a luxury; it is essential to life in society.【F5】It is one way in which we send out signals of humility, and show that we are not just animals hunting for our needs but civilized beings who wish to live at peace with our neighbors.That is why we adopt dress codes; it is why we are guided by taste in our language, in our gestures and in our ways of looking at other people and inviting them into our lives.
【F2】
