閱讀部分主要介紹西方繪畫史。文章開頭闡述導(dǎo)致藝術(shù)發(fā)展的因素:生活方式和人們的信仰。隨后,文章介紹了主要的西洋繪畫藝術(shù)流派。中世紀的繪畫主題主要與宗教有關(guān);文藝復(fù)興時期,人們的思想和價值觀發(fā)生了根本性的變化,繪畫主題從宗教轉(zhuǎn)向人與自然,繪畫手法更為現(xiàn)實;19世紀晚期,歐洲的工業(yè)化導(dǎo)致了巨大的社會變革,也使繪畫風(fēng)格發(fā)生了變化,巴黎出現(xiàn)了印象派畫家,他們走出家門,捕捉瞬間作用于物體的光和影,印象派繪畫一段時間引起了爭議,但如今被公認為現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)的開端;現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)中,無論是抽象畫還是現(xiàn)實畫,都得益于印象派藝術(shù)的啟發(fā)。
