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.【1】 Perhaps the best way to understand Western art is to look at the development of Western painting over the centuries.【2】
【1】as 引导原因状语从句;主句为“it+be+adj.+to do sth”句式。
【2】句中to understand为动词不定式作定语,to look at为动词不定式作表语。
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.【3】 Thus, artists were not interested in painting realistic④ scenes.Their works were often primitive⑤ and two-dimensional⑥, and the main characters 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 themes, they showed real people in a real environment.In particular⑦, his paintings are set apart from⑧ other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact⑨.
【3】句中to teach people about Christianity为动词不定式作表语。
The Renaissance (from the 14th to the 17th century)
New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages.As a result, painters concentrated less on⑩ religious themes.They began to adopt⑪ a more humanistic⑫ attitude to life.An important breakthrough⑬ during this period was the use of perspective⑭ by Masaccio (1401-1428).Influential⑮ painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Michelangelo (1475-1564), and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio's innovations⑯ to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.【4】
【4】句中that 引导定语从句。
Another innovation was the use of oil paints.With their deep colours and realism, some of the best oil paintings look like photographs.While painters as early as Da Vinci had used oil, this technique reached its height with Rembrandt (1606-1669), who gained a reputation⑰ as a master of shadow and light.【5】
【5】while 引导时间状语从句,who 引导定语从句。
In subject matter, the emphasis increasingly shifted from religious themes to⑱ people and the world around us.Kings, nobles⑲, and people of high rank⑳ wanted to purchase accurate pictures of themselves and the people they loved.Others wanted paintings showing important historical events or stories from mythology.Finally, most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.【6】
【6】that 引导定语从句。
Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)
The development of Western art slowed until the invention of photography in the mid-19th century.After that, paintings were no longer needed to preserve what people and the world looked like.Hence, painters had to find a new way of looking at their art.From this, Impressionism emerged in 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 convey the light and movement in the scene—the subjective impression the scene gave him—but not a detailed record of the scene itself.【7】
【7】句中动词不定式作表语;the scene gave him为定语从句, 前面省略that。
While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life, others, such as Renoir (1841-1919), focused on people.Unlike the cold, black-and-white photographs of that time period, Renoir's paintings are full of light, shadow, colour, and life.He sought to show not just the outer image of his subjects, but their inner warmth and humanity as well.【8】
【8】本句为not…but…句型。
Modern Art(from the 20th century to today)
After Impressionism, subsequent artists began to ask, “What do we do next?” Painters such as Picasso (1881-1973) tried to analyse the shapes which existed in the natural world but in a new way, with Cubism.【9】 Others gave their paintings a realistic but dream-like quality.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?” 【10】
【9】which 引导定语从句。
【10】What they attempted to do 为主语从句。
西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术?很难给一个精确的定义。由于西方艺术有如此多不同的风格,不可能在一篇简短的文章里把它们全部描述出来。也许理解西方艺术的最好方法是看看几个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。
中世纪(5世纪至15世纪)
在中世纪,西方艺术的目的是教导人们基督教。因此,艺术家们对描绘现实场景不感兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化,主体人物往往比其他人大得多,以显示他们的重要性。这种情况在13世纪随着乔托·迪·邦多纳(1267—1337)开始改变。虽然他的画仍然有宗教主题,但它们表现的是真实环境中的真实人物。尤其是他的画作,因其逼真的人物面貌和深刻的情感冲击而与其他绘画作品截然不同。
文艺复兴时期
(从14世纪到17世纪)
从中世纪开始,新的观念和价值观逐渐取代了旧的观念和价值观。因此,画家们很少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生活采取更人性化的态度。这一时期的一个重要突破是马萨乔(1401—1428)对透视法的运用。一些有影响力的画家,如莱昂纳多·达·芬奇(1452—1519)、米开朗基罗(1475—1564)、拉斐尔(1483—1520)等,都是在乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展,创作出欧洲有史以来最伟大的艺术作品。
另一个创新是油彩的使用。一些最好的油画以其深邃的色彩和现实主义风格,看起来就像照片一样。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。
在题材上,重点逐渐从宗教主题转移到人和我们周围的世界。国王、贵族和有地位的人想要购买他们自己和他们所爱的人的精确画像。其他人想要显示重要历史事件或神话故事的画像。最后,大多数客户想要看起来既漂亮又有趣的画。
印象派(19世纪末至20世纪初)
在19世纪中叶照相术的发明之前,西方艺术的发展缓慢。在那之后,人们不再需要绘画来保存人和世界的面貌。因此,画家们不得不寻找一种新的方式来看待他们的艺术。由此,法国出现了印象主义。这个新运动的名字来自克劳德·莫奈(1840—1926)的画作《印象·日出》。在这部作品中,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场景时,其他人,如雷诺阿(1841—1919),则把重点放在人身上。与那个时代冰冷的黑白照片不同,雷诺阿的绘画充满了光、影、色彩和生命。他不仅力图表现他笔下人物的外在形象,而且力图表现他们内心的温暖和人性。
现代艺术(20世纪至今)
在印象派之后,后来的艺术家开始问“下一步我们要做什么?”像毕加索(1881—1973)这样的画家试图用立体主义的新方法来分析自然界中存在的形状。另一些人则赋予了他们的画作一种现实但梦幻般的质感。还有一些人转向了抽象艺术。他们试图做的不再是展示现实,而是提出一个问题:“什么是艺术?”
