在中世紀(jì)

,畫家的主要任務(wù)是把宗教的主題表現(xiàn)出來。

Aconventionalartistofthisperiodwasnotinterestedinshowingnatureandpeopleastheyreallywere.

一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)家沒心于如實(shí)地展現(xiàn)自然和人物。Atypicalpictureatthistimewasfullofreligioussymbols,whichcreatedafeelingofrespectandloveforGod.那個(gè)時(shí)期的典型的繪畫充滿了宗教的(象)特色,表現(xiàn)出了對(duì)上帝的尊敬與恭順。Butitwasevidentthatideaswerechanginginthe13thcenturywhenpainterslikeGiottodiBondonebegantopaintreligiousscenesinamorerealisticway.但是,很顯然到了13世紀(jì)時(shí),見解發(fā)生變化,像喬托這樣的畫家開始以一種比較現(xiàn)實(shí)的風(fēng)格來畫宗教場(chǎng)景。TheRenaissance(15thto16thcentury)文藝中興時(shí)期(15世紀(jì)到16世紀(jì))DuringtheRenaissance,newideasandvaluesgraduallyreplacedthoseheldintheMiddleAges.在文藝中興時(shí)期,新的思想和價(jià)值觀逐漸取代了中世紀(jì)的思想和價(jià)值觀。Peoplebegantoconcentratelessonreligiousthemesandadoptamorehumanisticattitudetolife.

人們開始較少關(guān)注宗教主題而采用一種更人性化的生活態(tài)度。

AtthesametimepaintersreturnedtoclassicalRomanandGreekideasaboutart.同時(shí)畫家們回到了羅馬、希臘的古典藝術(shù)理念上。Theytriedtopaintpeopleandnatureastheyreallywere.他們力爭(zhēng)如實(shí)地畫出人物和自然。Richpeoplewantedtopossesstheirownpaintings,sotheycoulddecoratetheirsuperbpalacesandgreathouses.富人們想擁有自己的藝術(shù)品并用來裝飾自己的高級(jí)宮殿和豪宅Theypaidfamousartiststopaintpicturesofthemselves,theirhousesandpossessionsaswellastheiractivitiesandachievements.,他們出價(jià)邀請(qǐng)出名藝術(shù)家來為自己畫像,畫自己的房屋和其他財(cái)物,以及他們的活動(dòng)和成就。Oneofthemostimportantdiscoveriesduringthisperiodwashowtodrawthingsinperspective.在此時(shí)期,最重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)之一就是怎樣用透視法來畫出事物。ThistechniquewasfirstusedbyMasaccioin1428.這一手法是1428年由馬賽其奧第一次使用的。Whenpeoplefirstsawhispaintings,theywereconvincedthattheywerelookingthroughaholeinawallatarealscene.當(dāng)人們第一次看到他的畫時(shí),還以為是透過墻上的小洞來觀看真實(shí)的場(chǎng)景,并對(duì)此深信不疑。Iftherulesofperspectivehadnotbeendiscovered,noonewouldhavebeenabletopaintsuchrealisticpictures.如沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)透視法,人們就不能能畫出這樣傳神的畫。Bycoincidence,oilpaintswerealsodevelopedatthistime,whichmadethecoloursusedinpaintingslookricheranddeeper.巧合的是這一時(shí)期油畫顏料也獲取了發(fā)展,它使得繪畫的色彩看上去更豐富、更深沉。Withoutthenewpaintsandthenewtechnique,wewouldnotbeabletoseethemanygreatmasterpiecesforwhichthisperiodisfamous.沒有新的顏料和新的(繪畫)手法,我們就不能夠看到好多使這一時(shí)代出名的杰作。Impressionism(late19thtoearly20thcentury)印象派時(shí)期(19世紀(jì)后期到20世紀(jì)初期)Inthelate19thcentury,Europechangedagreatdealfromamostlyagriculturalsocietytoamostlyindustrialone.19世紀(jì)后期,歐洲發(fā)生了巨大的變化,從以農(nóng)業(yè)為主的社會(huì)變成了以工業(yè)為主的社會(huì)。Manypeoplemovedfromthecountrysidetothenewcities.好多人從農(nóng)村遷入到新城市。Thereweremanynewinventionsandsocialchanges.有著好多新發(fā)明,還有好多社會(huì)改革。Naturally,thesechangesalsoledtonewpaintingstyles.這些改革也自但是然地促成了新的繪畫風(fēng)格。AmongthepainterswhobrokeawayfromthetraditionalstyleofpaintingweretheImpressionists,wholivedandworkedinParis.在那些打破傳統(tǒng)畫法的畫家中有生活和工作在法國巴黎的印象派畫家。TheImpressionistswerethefirstpainterstoworkoutdoors.印象派畫家是第一批室外寫景的畫家。Theywereeagertoshowhowlightandshadowfellonobjectsatdifferenttimesofday.他們迫切地想把一天中不相同時(shí)間投射到物體上的光輝和陰影表現(xiàn)出來。However,becausenaturallightchangessoquickly,theImpressionistshadtopaintquickly.但是由于自然光的變化很快,印象派畫家們必定很快地作畫,Theirpaintingswerenotasdetailedasthoseofearlierpainters.所以,他們的畫就不像以前那些畫家們的畫那樣認(rèn)真了。Atfirst,manypeopledislikedthisstyleofpaintingandbecameveryangryaboutit.開初,好多人都不喜歡這種畫法,甚至還勃然震怒。Theysaidthatthepainterswerecarelessandtheirpaintingswereridiculous.他們說這些畫家作畫時(shí)不以為意、粗枝大葉,而他們的作品更是荒誕可笑。ModernArt(20thcenturytotoday)現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)(20世紀(jì)到此刻)Atthetimetheywerecreated,theImpressionistpaintingswerecontroversial,buttodaytheyareacceptedasthebeginningofwhatwecall"modernart".在印象派作品的創(chuàng)辦初期,它們是存在著爭(zhēng)議的,但是此刻己被人們接受而成為此刻我們所說的“現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)”的始祖了。ThisisbecausetheImpressionistsencouragedartiststolookattheirenvironmentinnewways.這是因?yàn)橛∠笈杉?lì)畫家用一種嶄新的視角對(duì)待他們的環(huán)境。Therearescoresofmodernartstyles,butwithouttheImpressionists,manyofthesepaintingstylesmightnotexist.此刻,現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)風(fēng)格有好幾十種,但是若是沒有印象派,那么這好多不相同的風(fēng)格就不能能存在。Ontheonehand,somemodernartisabstract;thatis,thepainterdoesnotattempttopaintobjectsasweseethemwithoureyes,butinsteadconcentratesoncertainqualitiesoftheobject,usingcolour,lineandshapetorepresentthem.一方面,有些現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)是抽象的,也就是說,畫家其實(shí)不打算把我們眼睛看到的東西如實(shí)地畫出來,而是集中展現(xiàn)物體的某些質(zhì)量特色,用色彩、線條和形狀把它們呈現(xiàn)出來。Ontheotherhand,somepaintingsofmodernartaresorealisticthattheylooklikephotographs.而另一方面,有些現(xiàn)代派的藝術(shù)作品倒是那么寫實(shí),看上去就像是照片。Thesestylesaresodifferent.這些風(fēng)格這樣不相同。Whocanpredictwhatpaintingstylestherewillbeinthefuture?誰能預(yù)知將來會(huì)有什么樣的繪畫藝術(shù)風(fēng)格?2.選修六Unit1THEBESTOFMANHATTAN’SARTGALLERIES曼哈頓藝術(shù)畫廊薈萃TheFrickCollection(5thAvenueandE.70thStreet)弗里克珍藏館(第5大道和第70街大道之間)ManyartloverswouldrathervisitthissmallartgallerythananyotherinNewYork.
