15、 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.西方绘画艺术简史西方绘画艺术简史 什么是西方艺术?很难给出一个精确的定义。由于西方的艺术风格多种多样,在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。也许了解西方艺术的最好方法就是看看几个世纪以来西方绘画的发展。The M
16、iddle Ages(from the 5th to the 15th century)During the Middle Ages,the purpose of Western art was to teach people about Christianity.Thus,artists were not interested in painting realistic scenes.Their works were often primitive and two-dimensional,and the main characters were often made much larger
17、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 particular,his paintings are set apart from other paintings by their realistic human
18、faces and deep emotional impact.中世纪(5世纪到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,艺术家对写实场景不感兴趣。他们的作品通常较为粗糙且二维化,主体人物通常比其他人物大得多,以显示他们的重要性。这种情况在13世纪时因乔托迪邦多纳(1267-1337)而开始改变。尽管他的画仍然带有宗教主题,但它们展示的是真实的环境中的真实人物。尤其是他的画作,因其逼真的人物面貌和深刻的情感冲击而从其他画作中脱颖而出。文艺复兴时期(14世纪到17世纪)新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观。因此,画家较少关注宗教主题。他们开始采取一种更人性化的生活态度。
19、这一时期的一个重要突破是马萨乔(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、米开朗琪罗和拉斐尔,乔托和马萨乔的创新基础上继续发展,创造出欧洲前所未见的一些最伟大的艺术作品 The Renaissance(from the 14th to the 17th century)New ideas and values gradually replaced old ones from the Middle Ages.As a result,painters concentrated less on religious themes.They began to adop
20、t a more humanistic attitude to life.An important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by Masaccio(1401-1428).Influential painters such as Leonardo da Vinci(1452-1519,Michelangelo(1475-1564),and Raphael(1483-1520)Giotto and Masaccios innovations produce some of the greatest art
21、 that Europe had ever seen.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 as Da Vinci had used oil,this technique reached its height with Rembrandt(1606-1669),who gained a reputation as.In
22、subject matter,the emphasis increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us.Kings,nobles,and people wanted to purchase accurate pictures of themselves and the people they loved.Others wanted paintings showing important historical events or stories from mythology.Finally,
23、most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.另一个创新是油画颜料的使用。由于其深沉的色彩和现实主义风格,一些最好的油画看上去就像是照片。尽管早在达芬奇时代一些画家就使用油彩绘画,但伦勃朗使得这种技艺达到顶峰,他拥有“光影”的雅称。在题材上,重点逐渐从宗教主题转移到人和我们周围的世界。国王、贵族和人士都想购买和所爱之人准确。其他人则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起来美丽有趣的画作。Impressionism(late 19th to early 20th
24、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 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
25、.The name of this new movement came from the painting by Claude Monet(1840-1926)called Impression,Sunrise.In this work,Monets aim was to convey the light and movement in the scene-the subjective impression the scene gave him-but not a detailed record of the scene itself.印象派时期(19世纪后期到20世纪初期)直到19世纪中叶摄
26、影术发明之前,西方艺术的发展缓慢。在那之后,不再需要绘画来保存人和世界的面貌了。因此,画家们不得不寻找一种新的方式来看待他们的艺术。由此,印象派在法国应运而生。这个新运动的名字来源于克劳德莫奈(1840-196)的一幅名为印象日出的画作。在这幅作品中,莫奈想传达场景中的光线和运动一场景给他的主观印象一一而不是场景本身的详细记录。While many Impressionists painted scenes of nature or daily life,others,such as Renoir(1841-1919),focused on people.Unlike the cold,bla
27、ck-and-white photographs of that time period,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.虽然许多印象派画家描绘了自然或日常生活场景,但其他画家,如雷诺阿(1841-1919年)则以人物为关注对象。雷诺阿的画作与那个时代冷淡的黑白照片不同,充满了光、影、色彩和生命。他不仅试图
28、展示他笔下人物的外在形象,而且还展示他们内心的温暖和人性。Modern Art(from the 20th century to today)After Impressionism,subsequent artists began to ask,What do we do next?Painters such as Picasso(1881-1973tried to analyse the shapes which existed in the natural world but in a new way,with Cubism.Others gave their paintings a re
29、alistic but dream-like 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?现代艺术(20世纪至今)在印象派之后,后来的艺术家开始问不一步我们该做什么?”像毕加索(1881-1973)这样的画家试图用一种新的方法立体主义来分析自然界中存在的形状。其他人则赋予他们的画中一种写实但又像梦一样的品质特征。还有一些人转向抽象艺术。他们试图做的不再是展示现
