A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.
The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD)
During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.
The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)
During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.
One of the most important discoveries ring this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.
Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)
In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly instrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.
The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angr about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.
Modern Art (20th century to today)
At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modem art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modem art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?
THE BEST OF MANHATTAN』 ART GALLERIES
The Frick Collection (5th Avenue and E.70th Street)
Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery than any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection to the American people. Frick had a preference for pre-twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well-represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick's beautiful home and garden which are well worth a Visit.
Guggenheim Museum(5th Avenue and 88th Street)
This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. The Guggenheim Museum building is also world-famous. When you walk into gallery, you feel as if you

A few words of warning: the admission price is not cheap and the museum is often very crowded.

第五單元 大自然的力量Reading一份令人興奮的工作 我的工作是世界上最偉大的工作，我去的地方十分奇特，和我一起工作的人來自世界各地。我們有時在戶外工作，有時在辦公室，有時要用到科學儀器，有時還要走訪當地百姓和遊客。但我從不感到厭煩。雖然我的工作有時也有危險，不過我並不在乎，危險可以激勵我，使我感到活力四射。最重要的是，我的工作可以保護平民不受這地球上最強大的力量之一——火山的傷害。 在二十年前，我最為一名火山學家在夏威夷火山觀測站工作。我的工作就是收集有關基拉韋厄火山的數據，它是夏威夷最活躍的火山之一。收集並評估了這些數據之後，我會和其他的科學家一起去預測下次熔岩會流向哪裡，他的速度是多少。我們的工作挽救了許多人的生命，因為我們會警告熔岩流經之地的居民，讓他們提前搬離他們的房子，但遺憾的是，我們不可能把他們的房子也搬走，因此，許多房屋被熔岩淹沒，或者被全部焚毀。 當灼熱的岩石從火山噴出並砸回地面時，他造成的損失其實比你想像的要小些，這是因為沒有人在會有有許多岩石下落的基拉韋厄火山山頂附近居住。不過向波濤一樣順著山坡緩緩流下的熔岩所造成的損失卻大得多，因為它所流經的地方的所有東西都會被融化的岩石所掩埋。不過，火山爆發這件事本身卻是十分壯觀的，我永遠也不會忘記我第一次看到火山噴發時的情景。那是我抵達夏威夷後的第二個星期。我努力工作了一整天，我很早就上床睡覺了，並很快就睡著了。突然，我的床開始搖晃，緊接著我聽到一種奇怪的聲音，就好像有一列火車在我的窗前駛過一樣。因為我已經在夏威夷經歷過幾次地震了，所以我並沒有怎麼太在意，就在我剛要回去接著睡的時候，我的房間突然亮如白晝。我跑出房子，來到了後花園，在哪兒我能遠遠的看到基拉韋厄火山。在山的一邊火山正在噴發，火紅熾熱的岩漿像噴泉一樣被噴上了幾百米的高空，這真是一個夢幻般的場景。 在火山噴發後的第二天，我有幸對它做了一次近距離的觀測。我和另兩位科學家一起開車上山，到最靠近火山口的地方才下車。早先送觀測站出發的時候，我們就帶了一些防護服，我們穿上這些衣服後才接近了火山口，我們三個看起來就好像是宇航員。我們用白色的防護服遮住全身，戴上了頭盔，還穿了一雙大靴子和一副特殊的手套。穿著這套裝備走起路來可不方便，但我們還是慢慢地向火山口的邊緣走去，並向下看到了紅色的沸騰著的中心。另外兩人爬下火山口去收集一些供日後研究用的岩漿，由於我是第一次經歷這樣的事，所以我留在上面看他們弄。 如今，我和開始從事這項工作時一樣滿懷熱情。我已經研究了火山很多年，但我還是對他們驚人的破壞力和美感到吃驚。
