艺术家的生活往往给我们带来无限的遐想,那么让我们一起了解一下美国绘画之父Benjamin在决定要成为一名画家之前的经历吧。
Benjamin West,the father of American painting,showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age.But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one.In those days,a brush was made from① camel's hair.There were no camels nearby.Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead.He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.
The brush did not last long.Soon Benjamin needed more fur.Before long②,the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱).His father said that the cat must be sick.Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat's lot(命运) was about to③ improve.That year,one of Benjamin's cousins,Mr.Pennington,came to visit.He was impressed with④ Benjamin's drawings.When he went home,he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes.He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist.These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747,when Benjamin was nine years old,Mr.Pennington returned for another visit.He was amazed at⑤ what Benjamin had done with⑥ his gifts.He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city,Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings.The boy began a landscape(风景) painting.William Williams,a wellknown painter,came to see his work.Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home.The books were long and dull.Benjamin could read only a little,having been a poor student.But he later said,“Those two books were my companions by day,and under my pillow at night⑦.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books,they were his introduction to classical paintings.The nineyearold boy decided then that he would be an artist.
