托福寫作萬能例子:托福寫作中,例子是非常重要的,提到關于藝術的例子,大家寫來寫去,好像也總是畢加索,梵高等,即無趣也容易造成雷同。下面為您整理一些關于藝術的新鮮例子,大家有什么更新鮮有趣的存貨,也可以跟大家一起分享一下哦。
1.創新
Marcel Duchamp
先是 馬塞爾 杜尚,這是現代藝術史中的傳奇人物,創意百出,信馬由韁,最出名的亂搞是在攤上買了一個尿池,命名為《泉》,拿到藝術館展出。杜尚家底十分殷實,是少有的走在時代尖端而不用忍受貧窮的藝術家。他涉及的藝術領域極其廣泛,可以看作近代藝術里的達芬奇。
他的例子幾乎可以用到所有跟藝術相關的題目,其他類的部分題目也可以用(比如創新,outsider什么的—用來做補充:不需要是外來者,只要保持觀念開放依然可以成就breakingthrough的achievement)
背景:French-born American artist (though he always denied being “an artist”)
His works had a major impact to the direction of 20 century art. All his life, he changed the form of art as well as himself. He introduced the European movement Cubism(立體主義) and dada(達達主義) to United States, and was influential in surrealist(超現實主義,很有名的達利就是搞這個的) movement.
此外他還和installation art(裝置藝術), concept art(概念藝術)這些現在很火的藝術形式有關
泉的例子:Fountain, an ordinary, mass-produced urinal that has been transformed into a work of art simply by being exhibited in a gallery and receiving a new title.
他說過一句話,Art may be bad, good or indifferent, but, whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way as a bad emotion is still an emotion.
可以用來擴展解釋他思想的開放,同時把art和形容詞換掉也是很好的 辨證類型的 GRE句子
2.現實對藝術的影響
Dada
前面說到的達達主義。因為跟社會、戰爭聯系很緊密,所以拿出來講:
DADA是一戰以后歐洲的詩人畫家搞的,因為戰爭的殘酷讓他們意識到之前的那些形而上的出世的藝術很沒意義,有一部分就開始搞更沒有意義的DADA(汗~~~事實就是這樣Di)
The slaughter of World War I affected artists in different ways. Some felt, as Mondrian did, that human betterment lay in the creation of an impersonal, mechanistic way of life. Still others concluded that the very idea of human betterment was a pointless illusion. For this group, the main lesson of the war, if anything, was the bankruptcy of reason, politics, technology, and even art itself. On this premise, several artists and poets founded a movement whose name, dada, was purposely meaningless, and whose members ridiculed anything having to do with culture, politics, or aesthetics
再補充一個現實跟藝術相連的,名氣大一點,老朋友Picasso,不過是以作品為突破口,應該不會那么多雷同
Guernica(就是一副長的、上面都是牛頭馬面的畫,Guernica是西班牙北部的小鎮,德國人把那炸了,畢加索聽到后悲憤叢生,就畫了它)
《Guernica》 The painting’s color scheme proved effective for conveying the cruel reality
Spanish painter Picasso created the masterpiece when he heard of the bombing of Guernica during Spanish Civil War
3.另一些悲慘的藝術家
倫勃朗Rembrandt, 維梅爾Vermeer (荷蘭黃金時期的兩個大師,手法創新,在光影表現上都有獨到之處。都不受同時代人重視,很符合大家心目中藝術家的Stereotype,可以用來替換梵高、畢加索這類婦孺皆知的大佬)
Rembrandt(藝術成就上比Vermeer高點)
Rembrandt, Dutch baroque artist, who ranks as one of the greatest painters in the history of Western art. His work made an enormous impact on his contemporaries and influenced the style of many later artists. Perhaps no painter has ever equaled Rembrandt's chiaroscuro effects or his bold impasto.
Vermeer(不知道大家看過《戴珍珠耳環的女孩》girl with a pearl earring嗎,就是說他的,不過故事是假的,Vermeer的日子可能比電影里更慘)
Jan Vermeer reputed the greatest painter besides Rembrandt in Dutch Golden Age, had a marvelous ability in expressing lights and shadow, but he died young left his family no legacy but deep debt. During his lifetime, he had not sold one piece of his paintings. After his death Vermeer did not receive attention until the late 19th century. His reputation steadily increased thereafter, and today he is considered one of the greatest Dutch painters.
4.跨專業的牛人
跨專業領域,outsider achievement的文章很適用
藝術》數學
M.C. Escher (艾舍爾,就是畫圖形漸變、現實中不存在的空間的畫的人,很牛,也很神經質,他只上過中學,作品卻很受數學家推崇。)
Dutch M.C Escher leaps from art to mathematics. Escher had no formal mathematical training beyond secondary school, but his fantastic print works, such as Escher Limit Cycle and Day and Night, are most greatly admired by mathematicians, who recognized his work an extraordinary visualization of mathematics principles, and considered him a part of them.
數學》藝術
分性藝術創始人,IBM研究院搞數學、物理的,結果創造出了新的藝術形式,分形藝術。
Benoit Mandelbort was a scientist at IBM Watson Research Center. On his retirement from IBM, he joined the Yale Department of Mathematics. By now, you can tell any connections between him and art. Nonetheless, he has created a new geometry of nature called fractal that is centered in physics and mathematics, and being reputed as a innovative form of art. The explanation is that artist and scientist are expressing in distinct methods but journeying the same destination, such as balance, harmony, symmetry, and the like.
5.現代與創新的結合
就是大家都很了解的設計中銀大廈,盧浮宮金字塔的老貝,這里引用的是盧浮宮的例子。
Louvre, national art museum of France.
Chinese-born American architect I. M. Pei designed this controversial glass pyramid (completed in 1989) at the entrance to the Louvre, a museum in Paris, France. Noted for his unique arrangements of geometric shapes, Pei also earned a reputation for his creative use of space, surfaces, and materials. One of the foremost architects of the 20th century, Pei has designed important public and corporate buildings throughout the world and has worked with urban renewal.
以上是關于藝術的幾個例子,大家可以在不同的角度理解使用,所謂的托福寫作萬能例子,其實就看大家的側重點和闡述方向,所以,大家在準備托福寫作例子的時候,還需要發散思維,多方面分析。
