MASTERPIECES
The Starry① Night was painted in June 1889 when Vincent van Gogh was staying at a home for the mentally ill②.Van Gogh painted what he saw from his window—the night sky with clouds,stars and a moon.However,he didn’t just paint the clouds.He also painted the massive③ circles of white and yellow racing across the sky[1].The stars and the moon hang bright④ in the night sky.Beneath⑤ this amazing sky,we see a sleeping village and a dark,lonely tree.
[1]此处是动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词短语“the massive circles of white and yellow”。
His unusual use of colour has led experts to think⑥ that Van Gogh’s mental illness may have affected⑦[2]his sense⑧ of sight.He also took a drug that can make people see yellow spots⑨, just like the stars in The Starry Night.
[2]may have done表示对过去的情况不太肯定的推测,意思是“过去可能做了某事”。
Unfortunately,Van Gogh’s unique paintings weren’t very popular and he only sold one painting in his lifetime⑩.He also thought The Starry Night was a failure⑪.However,the fact remains that The Starry Night is now one of the world’s most famous paintings [3].
[3]画线部分为固定句型“the fact remains that...”,意为“事实是……,真实的情况是……”,用于强调所说的某一情况为事实,人们必须意识到。
The Scream⑫ was painted by Edvard Munch in 1893.What makes it striking⑬[4] is that it shows a thin figure with an expression of fear⑭—the figure’s mouth is wide open⑮ and letting out a powerful scream⑯ .The figure covers his or her ears and looks directly at the viewer⑰ .This figure is set⑱ on a bridge above a dark,stormy sea,and against⑲ a burning orange-red⑳sky.
学生用书第8页
[4]此处为What引导的主语从句,What在从句中作主语。
In his diary,Munch talked about what inspired him.“I was walking down the road with two friends when the sun set[5]; suddenly the sky turned as red as blood[6] ...I stood there shaking㉑.Then I heard the scream of nature.”
[5]画线部分为“sb was/were doing ...when ...”句型,意为“某人正在做某事,这时(突然)……”。
[6]画线部分为“as ...as ...”结构,意为“与……一样……”。
Many experts say that The Scream is connected to㉒ Munch’s mental health problems,which caused㉓ him a lot of pain.
The Empire of Light is among a series of paintings by Belgian artist René Magritte between 1953 and 1954.He painted the same scene㉔27 times.It shows a beautiful house lit by lights from inside,surrounded by the darkness of night[7].What is strange is that above the house and the tree,we see a daytime sky full of brightness and soft white clouds.[8] It seems like quite a mysterious㉕scene.
[7]画线部分为动词-ed形式短语作后置定语,修饰名词a beautiful house。
[8]本句为主从复合句。其中“What is strange”为What引导的主语从句;“that above ...clouds”为that引导的表语从句。
Magritte was a painter inspired by his thoughts and ideas.His paintings were visual㉖ experiments as he tried to play with㉗ reality [9].His view was that art should shock the viewers and challenge㉘their sense of reality.
[9]画线部分为as引导的原因状语从句,意为“因为;由于”。
The Empire of Light has produced㉙ different reactions㉚ in viewers.Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling㉛.Others,however,find them calming.As for㉜ Magritte himself,he thought that the change between day and night in the paintings was surprising.“I call this power:poetry,”he said.

代表作
《星空》是文森特·凡·高于1889年6月在一家精神病院里创作的。凡·高画了他看到的窗外景象——有云、星星和月亮的夜空。然而,除了云之外,他还在天空中画了相互追逐的、巨大的白色和黄色光圈。星星和月亮在夜空中熠熠生辉。在这片神奇的夜空下,我们看到了一个沉睡的村庄和一棵黑暗孤独的树。
凡·高对色彩的运用很不寻常使得专家们认为精神疾病可能影响了他的视力。他还服用过一种药物,可以让人看到黄色斑点,就像《星空》中的星星那样。
不幸的是,凡·高独特的画作在当时并不是很受欢迎,他有生之年只卖出了一幅画。他还认为《星空》是一幅失败的作品,而事实是现在《星空》是世界上最著名的画作之一。
《呐喊》是爱德华·蒙克于1893年创作的。这幅画富有冲击力,画中描绘了一个瘦弱的身影,脸上带着恐惧的表情——这个人的嘴巴大张,正发出强烈的尖叫声。这个人捂住了自己的耳朵,直直地看向观众。这个人物被设置在一座桥上,桥下是漆黑的、翻滚的海面,背景是燃烧的橙红色天空。
蒙克在他的日记中谈到了灵感的来源,“太阳落山时,我和两个朋友一起走在路上;天空突然变得像血一样红……我站在那里颤抖着。然后我听到了大自然的尖叫声。”
许多专家说,《呐喊》与给蒙克带来巨大痛苦的心理健康问题有关。
《灯之王国》是比利时画家勒内·马格利特于1953年至1954年间创作的一系列画作之一。同样的场景他画了27次。画中有一座美丽的房子,房子里充满了灯光,外面被夜晚的黑暗包围。奇怪的是,在房子和树木之上,我们看到明亮的天空和柔软的白云。这个场景看起来非常奇异。
马格利特是一位受到他个人思想和想法启发的画家。他的画作是一个个视觉实验,因为他尝试戏谑现实。他认为艺术应该震撼观众并挑战他们对现实的观感。
观众对《灯之王国》的反应不同。有些人觉得这些画看起来很黑暗,令人不安。而有些人则觉得这些画让人感到平静。马格利特本人认为画作中白天和黑夜之间的变化令人惊讶。他说:“我称之为诗意的力量。”
