20、rspective by Masaccio(14011428)Influential painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (14521519),Michelangelo(14751564),and Raphael(14831520)built upon Giotto and Masaccios innovations to produce some of the greatest art that Europe had ever seen55画线部分为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词art。先行词被形容词最高级修饰时,定语从句的关系词只能用that。Anot

24、ed 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(18401926)called Impression,Sunrise.In this work,Monets aim was to convey th
25、e light and movement in the scenethe subjective impression the scene gave himbut not a detailed record of the scene itself.While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life,others,such as Renoir(18411919),focused on people.Unlike the cold,blackandwhite photographs of that time period,
26、Renoirs 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.Modern Art(from the 20th century to today)After Impressionism,subsequent artists began to ask,“What do we do next?”Painters such as Picass
27、o(18811973)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 dreamlike 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?”
28、77What they attempted to do 是What引导的主语从句;show reality是省略to的动词不定式短语,因为主语从句中含有实义动词do,表语中的不定式符号to可以省略;but连接两个并列的成分;“What is art?”是the question的同位语。译文参考西方绘画简史什么是西方艺术?很难给一个准确的定义。由于西方艺术的风格迥异,在一篇短文中全部描述出来是不可能的。也许了解西方艺术的最佳方式是看看西方绘画几个世纪以来的发展历程。中世纪(5至15世纪)在中世纪,西方艺术旨在向人们宣扬基督教。因此,艺术家们对描绘现实景象不感兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化
29、,主体人物通常比其他人(所占版面)大得多,以此彰显其重要性。13世纪,乔托迪邦多纳(12671337)开始改变这种现象。虽然他的画作仍然有宗教主题,但它们展示了真实环境中的真实人物。他的绘画作品尤其因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(14至17世纪)新思想和新价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的旧思想和旧价值观。因此,画家们更少关注宗教主题。他们开始对生命采取更具人文主义的态度。这一时期的一项重要突破就是马萨乔(14011428)对于透视法的运用。一些颇具影响力的画家,例如莱昂纳多达芬奇(14521519)、米开朗基罗(14751564)和拉斐尔(14831520),在
30、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。(该时期的)另一创新是油画颜料的使用。有着很深的色彩和写实,一些最好的油画看起来像照片。尽管早在达芬奇时代一些画家就使用油彩绘画,但伦勃朗(16061669)使得这种技艺达到顶峰,他拥有“光影大师”的雅称。在绘画的主题上,重心越来越多地从宗教主题转移到我们周围的人和世界。国王、贵族和地位很高的人都想购买自己和他们所爱之人的精确画像。其他人想要展示重要历史事件或神话故事的画作。最后,大多客户想要购买看上去集美丽与趣味于一体的画作。印象主义(画派)(19世纪末至20世纪初)西方艺术的发展(步伐)开始放缓,直到19世纪中叶照
31、相术的发明。在那之后,不再需要用画作来保存人和世界的面貌。因此,画家们必须寻找新的方式来看待他们的艺术。由此,印象派在法国出现。这个新运动的名字来自克劳德莫奈(18401926)的画作印象日出。在这幅作品里,莫奈试图传达场景中的光线和变化这个场景给他的主观印象而非对场景本身的详细描绘。当许多印象派画家描绘自然或日常生活的场景时,其他画家,如雷诺阿(18411919)则关注人。与那个时期冷色调的黑白照片不同,雷诺阿的画作充满了光影和色彩,极具生命力。他不仅要表现他主题的外在形象,还要表现他们内心的温暖和人性。现代艺术(20世纪至今)继印象主义之后,后来的艺术家们开始发问:“我们接下来做什么呢?”毕加索(18811973)等画家尝试用一种新方式立体主义分析自然界中存在的形状。也有些人给他们的画作赋予逼真却又梦幻的特质。还有些人转向了抽象艺术。他们不再试图展示现实,而是提出一个问题:“什么是艺术?”
