三、阅读理解

(2022·江西南昌十中高二月考)

Expressionism(表现主义) was a modernist movement,originating in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.Expressionism emphasises artists’ subjective feelings.Its typical characteristic is to present the world only from a subjective perspective.Expressionist artists tried to express the emotional experience rather than physical reality.They used many art techniques such as intense emotions,forms,exaggeration(夸张),shapes and abstraction to break through the experiences of feelings.

In the early years of expressionism (before World War Ⅱ),the artists built on the ideas of Post-Impressionism.They went on with the same experiments,thoughts and ideas,feeling that they were more important than the realistic explanation of the visible reality.The artists were still searching for a new and more strong truth behind the painting.Therefore the artists kept on looking at and thinking about the same things over and over again,but every time in a different way.

In the beginning of the 1910s,the term “expressionism”was used for art for the first time.In the beginning,the term was used only for the German artists who painted art belonging to this movement from 1905 on.

The expression of a feeling becomes obvious in the paintings of Edvard Munch.Munch had anxiety attacks,which he expressed in his works.By using colours and forms he emphasised his feelings of fear.Therefore he had to let go of the visible reality.His works also belong to symbolism. 

The global characteristics of expressionism include the use of “screaming” colours (often dark and primary colours),the ample(大量的) use of paints and other materials and the use of simplified forms.

Within expressionism,many art groups can be distinguished.These groups have either all the characteristics of expressionism or just a few of them.Some of the most important groups include Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter.

MyFavouriteArtwork

The creation of art has aesthetic value,but is more often used to express oneself.

SixGentlemen,a landscape painting by the artist Ni Zan,ranked top in my favourite artwork list.The work portrays six trees along a river bank,symbolising integrity in an era of violent upheaval.A large but quiet river in the middle expresses his love for simplicity and innocence.In the distance were high and looming mountains,leaving room for interpretation.

The artwork is an expression of itself,communicating simplicity,innocence and distance,which are the life principles I appreciate most.
