If the west of Middle Ages ever reached the extreme that God was the highest ruler, and then, the modern civilization in the 20th century western slipped to another that the carnal desire overflowed very much. "God has died!" People have become a devil from the angel. A world without "God" is the one where the people do at will; one era that loses the rationality restricts is the one overflowing irrationally. The air in the western society was filled by the terrified, anxious, painful and even desperate mood. People's entity and soul have been occupied by the "matter". And they were alienated by the civilization which was created by people themselves.In the new plural culture space, the Elite Art has already become one consumption kind, and a traditional social stratum on abundant people's literature and art self-cultivation has been out of existence, this is a tragedy. Since golden age has already gone for ever, the elite's art rather returns to the Garden of Eden in the futile dream than bases on the reality and strives actively for their own reasonable existence in the masses' culture era. As it always goes, "heaven helps those who help themselves ". And the independence of my personality is a powerful fulcrum and starting point by which the artists can get involved in the society. Once the artist loses the artistic personality such as the independent character and depth of its spirit, that that is to say, then he loses the most basic things as an artist, and he is no longer the artist, he is just a consumer goods producer who is enslaved by the commercial computer. So, it is unavoidable to appear the production of art, the vulgarization of spirit.So the perfect artistic personality may be the basic criterion to judge the art for us. As the same time, the "aesthetic to rescue generation" of modern society is that defending the nobleness of the spiritual home with aesthetic purity, getting involves in the common customs society with the positive feeling, and saving the degeneration of the art, which is the perfect combination of personal training and society's ethical.
