Analyzing the argument by Walter Benjamin, he argues the boundaries of an artist under a highly politicized format often taking a Marxist and Socialist approaches over tackling these issues. With this apparent, it can be seen that there has been considerable effort in connecting this theme with the overall principles associated with the author as producer. Somewhat, it is the struggle towards recognizing the value of the proletariat that Benjamin relates it also to the way an artist should operate. Seeing this, the article makes a clear distinction of the necessary parameters in order to become an artist.
Understanding this perspective, it can be seen the interplay of political line and quality must be apparent within the writer. It is through this process that perception plays an important part in not only supplementing the two but creating a concrete artistic value. In the article, it can be seen illustrated this particular point and said such a formulation if of course unsatisfactory as long as the connection between the two factors, political line and quality has not been perceived (Arato and Gebhardt, 1982, p. 255).
Under this precept, the corresponding purpose of this approach is to allow artists to exhibit an image. In this process, heshe should be able to connect and link together important aspects related both in the literary and political aspects. In essence, the value of creating production stems from the ability to utilize these aspects and create a unified perspective between these two. In particular, the author as producer discovers in discovering his solidarity with the proletariat that simultaneously with certain producers who earlier seemed scarcely to concern him (Arato and Gebhardt, 1982, p. 255). It is through such aspect that the process of connection is achieved and creates a lasting impression among audiences.
Another essential criterion involves having the capacity of an artist to balance the political tendency of the work and its corresponding literary tendency. This remains to be important because it tries to denote the aspect of quality and portrays the ability to impart meaning and value to a certain piece. As Benjamin points out and I would add straight away this literary tendency, which is implicitly or explicitly contained in every political tendency, alone constitutes the quality of work (Arato and Gebhardt, 1982, p. 256).
Expanding on this idea further, it is the ability of the artist to reflect on the value of social norms and value as it relates to the way individuals and humans live accordingly. Moreover, this process also corresponds to the functions of outlining existing conditions shaping reality and its manifestations in the way each one perceives such. And when materialist criticism approached a work, it was accustomed to ask how this work stood in relation to the social relations of production of its time (Arato and Gebhardt, 1982, p. 256). Seeing this, the condition then of appreciating the value of such work coincides with the ability to create a distinct reflection of what truly occurs and ability to connect socially.
The last aspect that Benjamin considers vital surrounds the aspect of organization wherein it creates and defines their particular purpose and meaning. Here, such claim establishes the function towards redefining its ability to transcend to viewers in different interpretations possible. Seeing this, the idea of artists as producers constantly sees the ability to foster better means to become dynamic in their capacity to contribute something to society. As Benjamin points out his products must have, over and above their character as works, an organizing function, and in no way must their organizational usefulness be confined to their value as propaganda (Arato and Gebhardt, 1982, p. 265).
In the end, is the capacity of art to induce new patterns of behavior that it becomes significant in creating opportunity to inform and showcase a unique pattern different from what conventional artists are stimulated with. The article of Walter Benjamin examines the appropriate conditions that illustrate an effective artist. It corresponds not mainly in their ability to create contributions within different arenas but have the ability to create a distinct perspective that corresponds to the defining its true meaning and value of each particular endeavor.
