西方绘画艺术简史
艺术是受着人民生活习俗和信仰的影响的，西方的艺术风格经历了多次变革，由于西方的艺术风格多种多样,在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。
因此，本文只谈及从公元6世纪以来最主要的几种艺术风格，在中世纪，画家的主要任务是把宗教的主题表现出来，一个传统的艺术家无意于如实地展现自然和人物。
那个时期的典型的绘画充满了宗教的特征，体现出了对上帝的爱戴与敬重。但是，很显然到了13世纪时，观念发生变化，像乔托这样的画家开始以一种比较现实的风格来画宗教场景。
在文艺复兴时期，新的思想和价值观逐渐取代了中世纪的思想和价值观，人们开始较少关注宗教主题而采取一种更人性化的生活态度，同时画家们回到了罗马、希腊的古典艺术理念上。
富人们想拥有自己的艺术品并用来装饰自己的高级宫殿和豪宅，他们出价聘请著名艺术家来为自己画像，画自己的房屋和其他财物，以及他们的活动和成就，在此期间，最重要的发现之一就是如何用透视法来画出事物。
这一手法是1428年由马赛其奥第一次使用的，当人们第一次看到他的画时，还以为是透过墙上的小洞来观看真实的场景，并对此深信不疑，如没有发现透视法，人们就不可能画出如此逼真的画。
巧合的是这一时期油画颜料也得到了发展，它使得绘画的色彩看上去更丰富、更深沉，没有新的颜料和新的(绘画)手法，我们就不能看到很多使这一时代著名的杰作。
印象派时期( 19世纪后期到20世纪初期)
19世纪后期，欧洲发生了巨大的变化，从以农业为主的社会变成了以工业为主的社会，许多人从农村迁入到新城市，有着许多新发明，还有许多社会变革，这些变革也自然而然地促成了新的绘画风格。
在那些突破传统画法的画家中有生活和工作在法国巴黎的印象派画家，印象派画家是第一批室外写景的画家，他们急切地想把一天中不同时间投射到物体上的光线和阴影呈现出来，然而由于自然光的变化很快，印象派画家们必须很快地作画。
因此，他们的画就不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致了；他们说这些画家作画时漫不经心、粗枝大叶，而他们的作品更是荒谬可笑，起初，许多人都不喜欢这种画法，甚至还怒不可遏。
现代艺术(20世纪至今)
在印象派作品的创建初期,它们是存在着争议的，但是如今己被人们接受而成为现在我们所说的“现代艺术”的始祖了，这是因为印象派鼓励画家用一种崭新的视角看待他们的环境，如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那么这许多不同的风格就不可能存在。
一方面，有些现代艺术是抽象的，也就是说，画家并不打算把我们眼睛看到的东西如实地画出来，而是集中展现物体的某些品质特性，用色彩、线条和形状把它们呈现出来，而另一方面，有些现代派的艺术作品却是那么写实，看上去就像是照片。
这些风格如此不同，谁能预言将来会有什么样的绘画艺术风格?

英译中的技巧
1、高屋建瓴“揽全局”
主要是指翻译首先要分清英文主从句，一般先处理插入成分或从句，之后再处理主句。处理英文细节时要高屋建瓴、宏观把握，不拘泥于一字一词。行文需要注意中文特有的节奏感，不能拖沓冗长，要按照中文来龙去脉、由远及近的叙事原则组织行文。
2、行文提倡“四、六、八”
主要是指英译中行文务求简洁、流畅、自然，而简洁的最佳办法就是采用四字句、六字句或八字句，增强行文张力时也是如此，采用四、六、八字句构成同义重复，这是中文的一大特点。如：口若悬河，剑拔弩张之势，箭在弦上不得不发。
3、中文“形散神不散”
主要是指中文重意合，不像英文那样通过介词和连词串连成句，中文的逻辑散落在字里行间。在具体行文时遵循“以意群为成句单位”的原则，意群间除非确有必要，否则不用特别指明逻辑关系。

A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING

Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.

The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD)

During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.

The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)

During the Renaissance, new ideas and values graduallv replaced those held in the Middle Ages.People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.
One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the roles of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.

Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)

In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked in Paris.
The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angr about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.

Modern Art (20th century to today)

At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modem art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles, but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modem art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?

THE BEST OF MANHATTAN’S ART GALLERIES

The Frick Collection (5th Avenue and E.70th Street)
Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery than any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection to the American people. Frick had a preference for pre-twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well-represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick's beautiful home and garden which are well worth a Visit.

Guggenheim Museum(5th Avenue and 88th Street)
This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. The Guggenheim Museum building is also world-famous. When you walk into gallery, you feel as if you
were inside a fragile, white seashell. The best way to see the paintings is to start from the top floor and walk down to the bottom. There are no stairs just a circular path. The museum also has an excellent restaurant.

Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Avenue and 82nd Street)
The reputation of this museum lies in the variety of its art collection. This covers more than 5,000 years of civilization from many parts of the world, including America, Europe, China, Egypt, other African countries and South America. The museum displays more than just the visual delights of art. It introduces you to ancient ways of living. You can visit an Egyptian temple, a fragrant Ming garden, a typical room in an 18th century French house and many other special exhibitions.

Museum of Modern Art (53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues)
It is amazing that so many great works of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are housed in the same museum. The collection of Western art includes paintings by such famous artists as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse. A few words of warning: the admission price is not cheap and the museum is often very crowded.

Whitney Museum of American Art (945 Madison Avenue, near 75th Street)
The Whitney holds an excellent collection of contemporary American painting and sculpture. There are no permanent displays in this museum and exhibitions change all the time. Every two years, the Whitney holds a special exhibition of new art by living artists. The museum also shows videos and films by contemporary video artists
