Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual artists, like painters, want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (歇息,静止);their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a broken leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.
Paintings of unpleasant objects and paintings of beauty are______.
选项
A、all trying to show us something
B、of different art skills
C、of different art styles
D、of different acceptance to the public
答案
A
解析
本题是一个推理类问题。根据文章最后一段,如果一个画家选择画一条断腿,而另一个画家选择画月光下的湖泊景色,其目的都是让我们注意到世界的某个方面。每个画家都在向我们讲述、展示和强调某些东西。它们意味着艺术家们在有意无意间教给我们些什么。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“它们都是在试图向我们展示些什么”。
