Unit 6 Design Lesson 1 A matter of taste Xu Beihong (1895-1953) was important in modern Chinese folk art. During his lifetime, he developed the tradition of combining poetry with painting. Between 1933 and 1940, he held several exhibitions in Asia and Europe to promote Chinese art. Across this painting, named Racing Horse, we can see a horse running at high speed like a missile across the sky. On the left and right side of the painting, Xu cleverly drew in black ink to show the moving hair on the horse's mane and tail. He also used different shades of grey in a creative way to show the sweat along the horse's body. The painting of dark and light colours is a favourite of many art lovers. Qi Baishi (1863-1957) was one of China's greatest painters. He worked with wood during his early youth. Then between 1902 and 1909, he travelled across the country and painted many pictures of scenery. His interest changed later to simple pictures from everyday life, such as vegetables, flowers, birds, and insects. Cabbage is a well-known example of Qi's work. The tiny insect near the cabbage has some red on its back. Its black eyes, which are fixed on the cabbage, show the creature's interest in the vegetable. Qi Baishi's style of painting often leaves the audience guessing and makes them use their imagination. Chen Yifei (1946-2005) was a very successful artist. His soft portraits of beautiful women are very valuable. In 1997, one of his paintings sold for US ＄503, 000. The painting, named Poppy, is a typical example of Chen's style. In the painting, a young woman sits alone and is deep in thought. Her hand holding the fan is elegantly positioned above her knees. To emphasize the woman even more, Chen adds a lot of detail to the fan and the cloth of her dress,and chooses to paint the background behind the woman black. The folds of her dress are very beautifully painted. 第一课 品味 徐悲鸿(1895-1953)在中国现代民间艺术上有着重要的地位。在他的一生中，他发扬了将绘画同诗句相结合的传统。 在1933年和1940年之间，他在亚洲和欧洲举办了几次画展，以推进中国的艺术。 通过这幅名叫“奔腾的骏马”的画，我们可以看见一匹快速奔跑的马匹，好似横穿天空的导弹。在画的左右两边，徐悲鸿用黑色的墨汁清楚地表现出了马晃动的鬃毛和尾巴。 他还创造性地用渐变的灰色将马匹出汗的身体表现出来。这种使用亮色和暗色进行绘画受到许多艺术爱好者的喜爱。 齐白石是中国最伟大的画家之一。 在他青年早期的时候，他的工作是雕刻木头。然后在1902年和1909年之间，他在中国四处旅行，并画了许多风景画。 后来他的兴趣转向了来自绘画每天生活中的简单事物，如蔬菜、花、鸟和昆虫。 《卷心菜》是齐白石作品中很著名的例子。在卷心菜的附近，有一只小虫子，背部有些红色。它黑色的眼睛盯着卷心菜，表现出了它对蔬菜的兴趣。 齐白石绘画的风格经常留给观众猜想，让他们运用自己的想象力。 陈逸飞（1946-2005）是一位非常成功的艺术家。他那柔和的美女肖像画十分珍贵。 1997年，他其中的一幅画卖了503,000美元。这幅名叫《罂粟花》的画是陈逸飞风格典范。在这幅画中，一位年轻的女人独自坐着，陷入沉思。她拿着扇子的手优雅地放在膝盖上方。 为了更加突出这个女人，陈在她的扇子和裙子上添加了很多描绘，而将女人身后的背景设为黑色。裙子的褶摆画得非常漂亮。 |
