That certainly seems to be the case with a painting by indigenous(土著的) artist Vincent Namatjira, which includes a portrait(肖像) of Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart who is very concerned about her public image. Rinehart has reportedly called for the National Gallery of Australia(NGA) to remove her portrait, one of 21 individual works that make up a single piece in Namatjira's exhibition “Australia in Colour” from display. The exhibition has been running at the gallery in the Australian capital, Canberra, since March, 2024. Other subjects in the piece include the late Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ， American musician Jimi Hendrix, Australian Aboriginal rights activist Vincent Lingiari. Australian media has reported that Rinehart approached the NGA's director and chair to request the painting's removal. The NGA said that it “welcomes the public having a dialogue on our collection and displays”. “Since 1973, when the National Gallery collected Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles, there has been a dynamic discussion on the artistic value of works in the national collection, and on display at the Gallery，” the NGA continued. “We present works of art to the Australian public to inspire people to explore, experience and learn about art.” Namatjira said that he paints people who are wealthy, powerful, or significant—people who have had an influence on this country, and on him personally, whether directly or indirectly, whether for good or for bad. “I paint the world as I see it，” he said. “People don't have to like my paintings, but I hope they take the time to look and think why I have painted these powerful people and what I am trying to say.” “Some people might not like it; other people might find it funny. But I hope people look beneath the surface and see the serious side too，” Namatjira added. (　　) 1. Why did Rinehart hope to remove her portrait from the exhibition? A. She believed it damaged her image. B. She did not like the exhibition at all. C. She thought its author was not famous. D. She wanted to replace it with a new one. (　　) 2. What is the purpose of the NGA exhibition? A. To raise money for the gallery. B. To promote art among people. C. To gather more famous figures. D. To collect valuable paintings. (　　) 3.

Where is the text probably taken from? A. A gallery poster. B. An art newspaper. C. An exhibition brochure. D. A painting instruction book. 第二节 Is there a right or wrong way to view art? Whether we admit it or not, we've all had that moment of uncertainty while viewing art. However, that you're not an expert doesn't mean you can't understand art. __1__． Determine the basics When you first see an artwork, identify some basic information about it. Try to determine its medium(材料). If it's a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paint used. __2__. These observations can build a foundation for better understanding. __3__ Artists are masters of drawing attention. They usually have a plan for how your vision should move across the artwork. Taking note of what you notice first is a useful way to begin your experience. For example, it is said that Renaissance artists would refer to their paintings as “machines”. Their intention was to allow viewers to move their eyes smoothly through the work of art with clarity(清晰) and balance. Do some homework You don't need a background in art to appreciate it, but having some knowledge doesn't hurt, either. If a work of art catches your attention, do a little research, read an exhibition's catalogue(目录) or speak to the art team. __4__． Feel the artwork __5__. Is the artwork artful or dramatic? How does it affect your feelings? Do you feel sad, happy or angry? These questions require immediate reactions. They can be subjective, but they are worth considering, because art is about the artist communicating and expressing ideas. A. Notice your eye movements B. Spend some time with artists C. All these can deepen your appreciation D. Recognize your feelings as you first view the art E. You can also identify the artist and when it was created F. Try these tips next time you're viewing art, and they might help you G. You'd be surprised by the knowledge you can acquire when interpreting art 1.__________ 2.__________ 3.__________ 4.__________ 5.__________ 六、 选做题 Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It's also an expression of creativity that can be used for self­reflection or social influence. Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and personal. Besides, it has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions. For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking their language or by seeing their thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them. Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It is used to express emotions, communicate ideas and pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository(宝库) of a given society's collective memory. (　　) 1.
