第一节共15小题;每小题2. 5分, 满分37. 5分
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的ATBCD四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It's hard to imagine a visual record of the 20th century without Picasso. The Spanish artist captured everything from the horrors of war to the boundless possibilities of the human form. Even those unfamiliar with the modern art history can likely identify a few of his best-known paintings.
The Old Guitarist
Completed: Late 1903 to early 1904
Where to see it: Art Institute of Chicago
The Old Guitarist has to be one of the most sorrowful paintings to ever capture the art world's imagination. The figure depicted 描绘 thin and cross-legged appears exhausted as he sits over his brown guitar.
Garcon a la Pipe
Completed:1905
Where to see it: Private collection
With Garçon à la Pipe Boy With a Pipe, we move from Picasso's blue period to the more lively rose period. And while the figure in the oil-on-canvas portrait is clothed in blue, the background features happier shades of ochre and pink.
Girl Before a Mirror
Completed: 1932
Where to see it: Museum of Modern Art New York
If there's a single painting that screams Picasso, this might be the one. Girl Before a Mirror is alive with color, pathos and charming shapes that take cubism to its extremes. Picasso said he preferred this painting to any of the others, according to MOMA's founding director, Alfred H. Barr Jr.
Guernica
Completed: 1937
Where to see it: Museo Reina Sofia Madrid常德市人力资源考试院
Guernica is Picasso's best-known work. Its depiction of an aerial bombing attack on the Basque town of Guernica in April 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, was a visual relude 序曲to coming violent act of World War II. The muted tones of gray further emphasize the shapes of humans, their arms outstretched in extreme pain. Guernica has become one of the most recognizable anti-war paintings in history.
