A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
What is Western art? It is hard to give a precise① definition②.As there have been so many different styles of Western art,it is impossible to describe them all in a short text. Perhaps the best way to understand Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries.
The Middle Ages(from the 5th to the 15th century)
During the Middle Ages, the purpose of Western art was to teach people about Christianity③. Thus,artists were not interested in painting realistic④ scenes⑤. Their works⑥ were often primitive⑦ and twodimensional⑧,and the main characters⑨ were often made much larger than everyone else to show their importance. This began to change in the 13th century with Giotto di Bondone (1267—1337). While his paintings still had religious themes⑩,they showed real people in a real environment. In particular⑪,his paintings are set apart from⑫ other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact⑬.
The Renaissance(from the 14th to the 17th century)
New ideas and values gradually replaced⑭ old ones from the Middle Ages. As a result⑮,painters concentrated less on⑯ religious themes. They began to adopt⑰ a more humanistic⑱ attitude to life. An important breakthrough⑲ during this period was the use of perspective⑳ by Masaccio(1401—1428). Influential㉑ painters such as Leonardo da Vinci(1452—1519),Michelangelo(1475—1564),and Raphael(1483—1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio’s innovations㉒to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.
Another innovation was the use of oil paints. With their deep colours and realism㉓,some of the best oil paintings look like photographs㉔. While painters as early as Da Vinci had used oil,this technique㉕reached its height㉖with Rembrandt(1606—1669),who gained a reputation㉗ as a master of shadow and light㉘.
In subject matter,the emphasis㉙increasingly shifted㉚ from religious themes to people and the world around us. Kings,nobles㉛,and people of high rank㉜ wanted to purchase㉝ accurate㉞ pictures of themselves and the people they loved. Others wanted paintings showing important historical㉟events or stories from mythology㊱. Finally,most clients㊲wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.
Impressionism(late 19th to early 20th century)
The development of Western art slowed until the invention of photography in the mid19th century. After that,paintings were no longer needed to preserve㊳what people and the world looked like. Hence,painters had to find a new way of looking at their art. From this,Impressionism emerged㊴in France. The name of this new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet(1840—1926) called Impression,Sunrise. In this work,Monet’s aim was to convey㊵ the light and movement in the scene—the subjective㊶impression the scene gave him—but not a detailed㊷record of the scene itself.
While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life,others,such as Renoir (1841—1919),focused on㊸people. Unlike the cold,blackandwhite photographs㊹ of that time period,Renoir’s paintings are full of light,shadow,colour,and life. He sought㊺to show not just the outer㊻ image of his subjects,but their inner warmth and humanity as well.
Modern Art(from the 20th century to today)
After Impressionism,subsequent㊼artists began to ask,“What do we do next?” Painters such as Picasso (1881—1973) tried to analyse㊽ the shapes which existed㊾in the natural world but in a new way,with Cubism㊿. Others gave their paintings a realistic but dreamlike qualityB51. Still others turned to abstract art. What they attempted to do was no longer show reality,but instead to ask the question, “What is art?”
译文
西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术?这很难给出准确的定义。由于西方艺术的风格千差万别,不可能在一篇简短的文章中来描述它们。也许了解西方艺术的最好方法就是看看西方绘画在几个世纪里的发展。
中世纪(从5世纪到15世纪)
在中世纪,西方艺术的目的是教给人们有关基督教的知识。因此,艺术家对写实的场景并不感兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化,主体人物往往被塑造得比其他人都大得多,以显示他们的重要性。13世纪,随着乔托·迪·邦多纳(1267—1337)的出现,这种情况开始发生变化。虽然他的画仍然有宗教主题,但它们展示了真实环境中的真实人物,尤其是他的绘画作品,以其逼真的人物面貌和深刻的情感冲击而从其他绘画作品中脱颖而出。
文艺复兴时期(从14世纪到17世纪)
新观念和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的旧观念和价值观。因此,画家对宗教题材的关注较少。他们开始对生活采取更加人文的态度。这一时期的一个重要突破是马萨乔(1401—1428)对透视法的使用。一些颇具影响力的画家,例如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(1452—1519)、米开朗琪罗(1475—1564)和拉斐尔(1483—1520),在乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展,创作出欧洲前所未见的一些最伟大的艺术作品。
另一个创新是使用油墨颜料。有着深沉的色彩和写实,一些最好的油画看起来像照片。尽管早在达·芬奇时代,一些画家就使用油彩绘画,但伦勃朗(1606—1669)使得这种技艺达到顶峰,他拥有“光影大师”的雅称。
在主题上,重点逐渐从宗教主题转移到我们周围的人和世界。国王、贵族和地位高的人想要购买他们自己和他们所爱之人的精确画像。其他人则希望画出一些重要的历史事件或神话故事。最后,大多数客户希望看到漂亮有趣的画。
印象主义(画派)(19世纪末到20世纪初)
西方艺术的发展缓慢下来,直到19世纪中叶摄影术的发明。在那之后,不再需要绘画来保存人类和世界的面貌。因此,画家必须找到一种新的方式来看待他们的艺术。由此,印象派在法国出现了。这一新运动的名字来自克劳德·莫奈(1840—1926)的画作《日出·印象》。在这幅作品中,莫奈的目的是传达场景中的光和运动——场景给他的主观印象,而不是对场景本身的详细记录。
当许多印象派画家描绘自然或日常生活的场景时,其他人,如雷诺阿(1841—1919),则关注人。与那个时期冷淡的黑白照片不同,雷诺阿的绘画充满了光、影、色彩和生命。他不仅试图表现他的(作品中)人物的外在形象,还要表现他们内心的温暖和人性。
现代艺术(从20世纪至今)
印象派之后,随后的艺术家开始问:“我们下一步该做什么?”像画家毕加索(1881—1973)试图分析自然界中存在的各种形态,但是是以立体主义这种新的方式进行分析。其他人则赋予他们的画一种现实的但又梦想般的质感。还有一些人转向抽象艺术。他们试图做的不再是呈现现实,而是提出一个问题:“什么是艺术?”
