9、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 than everyone else to show their importance. This began to change in the 13th century, wit

In particular, his paintings are set apart from other paintings by their realistic human faces and deep emotional impact. (Part 2)Now read the text again. This time pay att

An important breakthrough during this period was the use of perspective by Masaccio (1401-14. Influential painters such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452-151, Michelangelo (1475-15 and Raphael (1483-

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
15、 its height with Rembrandt (1606-1669) who gained a reputation as a master of shadow and light. In subject matter, the emphasis increasingly shifted from religious themes to people and the world around us. Kings, nobles and people of high rank wanted to purchase accurate pictures of themselves and t
16、he people they loved. Others wanted paintings showing important historical events or stories from mythology. Finally, most clients wanted paintings that were beautiful and interesting to look at.

ReadingImpressionism (late 19th to early 20th 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 peo
18、ple 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 (1840-1926) called Impression, Sunrise. In this work, Monets aim was to convey the light and

ReadingModern Art (from the 20th century to today) After Impressionism, subsequent artists began to ask, “What do we do next?” Painters such as Picasso (1881-1973) tried to analyse the shapes which existed in the natural world but in a new way, with Cubism. Others gave their
22、 paintings a realistic 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?” (Part 5)Picasso (1881-1973)features of the paintings during this periodReading & Thinking 3.
