A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
What is Western art? It is hard to give a precise definition①.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.
本句中as是连词,引导原因状语从句,意为“因为;由于”。
it is impossible to describe them all in a short text中的it为形式主语,不定式短语to describe them...是真正的主语。
句中to understand Western art 为不定式短语作定语,修饰名词way;to look at...为不定式短语作表语。
①give a precise
definition给出一个确切的定义
西方绘画简史
什么是西方艺术?很难给出一个确切的定义。由于西方艺术有如此多不同的风格,在一篇简短的文章中把它们全部描述出来是不可能的。也许理解西方艺术的最好方法是看一看西方绘画在过去几个世纪中的发展。
The Middle Ages (from the 5th to the 15th century)
During the Middle Ages,the purpose of Western art was to teach people about Christianity.Thus②, artists were not interested in painting realistic③ scenes. Their works were often primitive④ and two-dimensional⑤, and the main characters were often made much⑥ 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 impact.
本句是一个复合句,to show their importance为不定式短语作目的状语。
②thus adv.因此
③realistic /ˌriːə'lɪstɪk/ adj.现实的;逼真的
④primitive /'prɪmətɪv/ adj.发展水平低的;原始的;远古的 n.文艺复兴前的艺术家(或作品)
⑤two-dimensional
/ˌtuː daɪ'menʃənl/ adj.二维的
⑥much修饰形容词或副词的比较级,意为“比……的多”
⑦in particular=particularly尤其;特别
⑧set apart from使与众不同;使突出;使优于……
中世纪(5世纪至15世纪)
在中世纪,西方艺术的目的是向人们传授基督教。因此,画家们对写实的绘画不感兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化,主体人物常常被画的比其他人大得多,以显示他们的重要性。这种情况在13世纪乔托·迪·邦多纳(1267-1337)时期开始改变。虽然他的绘画作品仍然有宗教主题,但它们展示的是真实环境中的真实人物。特别是他的绘画作品以其逼真的人物面孔和深刻的情感冲击力而有别于其他绘画作品。
The Renaissance (from the 14th to the 17th century)
New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages.As a result⑨, painters concentrated less on⑩religious themes.They began to adopt⑪ a more humanistic attitude to life.An important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by Masaccio (1401-1428).Influential⑫ painters such as⑬ Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519),Michelangelo (1475-1564),and Raphael (1483-1520) built upon Giotto and Masaccio's innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen.
⑨as a result因此
⑩concentrate less on 较少关注
⑪adopt vt.采用(某方法);采取(某态度)
⑫influential
/ˌɪnflu'enʃl/ adj.
有很大影响力的;有支配力的
⑬such as比如;诸如
文艺复兴时期(14世纪至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,画家们较少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生活采取一种更加人文主义的态度。这一时期一个重要的突破是马萨乔(1401-1428)对透视法的运用。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。
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 as⑭ Da Vinci had used oil,this technique reached its height with Rembrandt (1606-1669),who gained a reputation⑮ as a master⑯ of shadow and light.
本句是一个复合句,句中while引导让步状语从句,who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Rembrandt,且who在从句中作主语。
⑭as early as早在……(的时候)
⑮reputation
/ˌrepju'teɪʃn/ n.名誉;名声
⑯master n.大师
另一个创新是油画颜料的使用。由于它们的深颜色和现实主义,一些最好的油画看起来就像照片。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。
In subject matter,the emphasis increasingly shifted from religious themes to⑰ people and the world around us.Kings,nobles⑱, and people of high rank⑲ wanted to purchase⑳ accurate pictures of themselves and the people they loved.Others wanted paintings showing important historical events or stories from mythology.Finally,most clients㉑ wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.
现在分词短语作定语,修饰名词paintings。
⑰shift from...to...从……转为……
⑱noble /'nəʊbl/ n.贵族成员;出身高贵的人 adj.崇高的;宏伟的;高贵的
⑲rank /ræŋk/ n.地位;级别;行列 vt.& vi.把……分等级;使排成行
⑳purchase /'pɜːtʃəs/
vt.购买;采购
n.购买;购买的东西
㉑client /'klaɪənt/ n.委托人;当事人;客户
在题材上,重点越来越多地从宗教主题转向我们周围的人和世界。国王、贵族和地位显赫的人都想购买自己和所爱之人的精确画像。另一些人想要展示重要历史事件或神话故事的画作。最后,大多数客户都想要看漂亮有趣的画作。
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 preserve㉒ what people and the world looked like.Hence㉓,painters had to find a new way of looking at their art.From this,Impressionism emerged㉔ 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 subjective㉕
impression the scene gave him—but not a detailed record of the scene itself㉖.
过去分词作定语,表示被动。
㉒preserve vt.保存;保护;维持
㉓hence adv.因此;今后
㉔emerge /ɪ'mɜːdʒ/ vi.& vt.浮现;出现;暴露
㉕subjective
/səb'dʒektɪv/ adj.主观的
㉖itself pron.它自己;它本身
印象主义(画派)(19世纪末至20世纪初)
直到19世纪中期摄影技术的发明,西方艺术的发展才开始放缓。从那以后,绘画就不再需要用来保存人和世界的样子了。因此,画家们必须找到一种新的方式来看待他们的艺术。从此,法国出现了印象派。这个新运动的名字来自克劳德·莫奈(1840-1926)的画作《印象·日出》。在这幅作品中,莫奈的目的是传达场景中的光线和运动——场景给他的主观印象——而不是对场景本身的详细描绘。
While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life,others,such as Renoir (1841-1919),focused on㉗ people.Unlike the cold,black-and-white photographs of that time period,Renoir's paintings are full of㉘ light,shadow,colour,and life.He sought to show㉙ not just the outer image of his subjects,but their inner warmth and humanity as well㉚.
本句是一个复合句,while引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”。
㉗focus on集中于;专注于
㉘be full of=be filled with充满
㉙seek to do sth.试图做某事
㉚as well也;同样地
尽管许多印象派画家画的是自然或日常生活的场景,但是其他人,如雷诺阿(1841-1919),关注的是人。不同于那个时代冷冰冰的黑白照片,雷诺阿的绘画充满了光、影、色彩和生命。他想展示的不仅仅是主题的外在形象,还有他们内心的温暖和人性。
Modern Art (from the 20th century to today)
After Impressionism,subsequent㉛ 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.Others gave their paintings a realistic but dream-like㉜ quality.Still others turned to abstract art.What they attempted to do㉝ was no longer show reality,but instead to ask the question,“What is art?”
本句中第一个what引导主语从句。
㉛subsequent
/'sʌbsɪkwənt/ adj.随后的;后来的;之后的
㉜dream-like adj.梦一般的;朦胧的
㉝attempt to do sth.企图做某事
现代艺术(从20世纪至今)
在印象派之后,后来的艺术家开始问:“我们接下来要做什么?”像毕加索(1881-1973)这样的画家试图用一种新的方式“立体派”来分析存在于自然界中的图形。另一些人则赋予他们的画一种现实而梦幻的质感。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,而是问这样一个问题:“什么是艺术?”

课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Brazilian artist Néle Azevedo is best known for big public art pieces.The artist carves hundreds of 20-centimeter-tall ice figures seated with their ankles crossed and places them atop outdoor steps and puts them in city squares all over the world,where they quickly melt.The faceless sculptures drip and stream into small puddles as time passes. Her works have been adopted by environmentalists as a kind of activists' art against climate change.
But is it? Yes and (mostly) no.
The mass of melting bodies makes a natural connection with the threat humankind faces due to rising global temperatures.“Its close link with that subject is evident,”said the artist.In addition to the threat of global warming itself,the sheer number of sculptures sitting together also calls attention to the fact that we humans are all in it together.“Such kind of threat also finally puts man in his place.His fate is along with the destiny of the planet,and he is not the‘king’ of nature,but an essential element of it,”continues Azevedo on her website.
“I took every characteristic of traditional monuments and made the opposite,”she says.“I made small figures that sit on the floor.It doesn't honor anybody.It does honor the unknown.”
Azevedo explains,“In a minute action,the rules of the monument are inverted:in the place of the hero,the unknown;in the place of the solidity of the stone,the momentary process of the ice;in the place of the monument size,the minimum size of the perishable (易腐烂的) bodies.”Originally Azevedo wanted her art to get people thinking about impermanence,and the sight of ice transforming into a puddle of water certainly does that brilliantly.

The sweet art of painting with caramelized sugar (焦糖) can be witnessed in China's Sichuan Province.This ancient craft still manages to amaze tourists lucky enough to stumble upon a skilled street artist.
According to experts, this type of Chinese folk art originated from the Ming Dynasty when sugar animals and figures were created as part of ceremonies for sacrifice.During the Qing Dynasty, it gained even more popularity and the techniques were upgraded, which resulted in an increased number of patterns, most of them inspired by nature, wildlife and religion.In the beginning, people used molds (模具) to shape the caramelized sugar, but they were gradually replaced with a small bronze (青铜的) spoon that had to be used by talented artists who were experts at the art of normal painting as well.
“Painting” artistic pieces from melted sugar is very different from regular painting.Because the hot sugar cools down very quickly, the painter has to work swiftly, making sure he follows the correct order of strokes (一画,笔画) to get every shape just right.In order to get familiar with the process and the technique, it's recommended that artists practice normal painting first.
Masters of this centuries-old craft use brown or white sugar as the main material,a bronze spoon and a small spade as tools, and a slab (厚块) of marble as the canvas.The sugar is melted over a fiery pot and spread over the canvas with the spoon.Once the shape is completed, the spade is used to glue a wooden stick to the artwork and to separate it from the marble slab.Then you can have your very own caramelized sugar dragon or tiger and a unique souvenir.
The art is gaining support from both the general public and the government, who had it listed as a Provincial Non-Material Culture Heritage.
