An exhibition of Song Buyun’s works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The exhibition will run through Feb 27.
These days, a long awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a fanfare (轰动) online. One needn’t go outside to feel people’s excitement at a blanket of snow, as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough.
Seventy years ago, however, while snow was common in Beijing, cameras were seldom to be seen; few were able to record the scenery of this historical city. One of the few was Song Buyun, the late oil painter and water-colorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing’s centuries-old architecture.
Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song’s Beijing landscape series, picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city’s historical spots over the course of a year, such as Tiantan. He documented people visiting the Palace Museum, swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets.
Dying in 1992, Song didn’t have a chance to show this body of work during his lifetime. It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an exhibition held in his memory.
“Song’s paintings show the harmony between architecture and its surroundings,” says Fan Di’an, dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. “The colors are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these old bining skills of Chinese and Western art, his works preserve the varied landscape of a city, and under his brushwork, Song injected rich emotions, allowing his work to stand the test of time.”
4.What can we know about Song’s works in the exhibition
A.They were made with the help of cameras.
B.They focus on Beijing’s cultural landmarks.
C.They show people’s hard life in Beijing decades ago.
D.They have drawn wide attention and good comments online.
5.When did the public first see the body of Song’s Beijing landscape series
A.In 1951. B.In 1992. C.In 2000. D.In 2020.
6.What makes Song’s works last long
A.The colors Song used were very special.
B.Some architecture and surroundings don’t exist.
C.They are the only way to record the historic scenery.
D.Song’s skills and emotion make the works valuable.
7.What’s the best title of this test
A.Frozen in Time: an Old Beijing in Song Buyun’s Exhibition
B.Song Buyun: a Great Colour Master Who Painted Mountains
C.A Symphony of Colours: An Exhibition Giving You a Feast of Eyes
D.Landmarks in Beijing: the Harmony Architecture and Culture
C
Chinese painting, the flower of Chinese culture, is distinguished by a spirit and an atmosphere all of its own, entirely different from Western painting. It is as different from Western painting as Chinese poetry is different from Western poetry. That difference is hard to grasp and express. It has a certain tone and atmosphere, visible in Western painting, but essentially different and achieved by different means. It shows a certain economy of material, marked by the many blank spaces, an idea of composition determined by its own harmony and marked by a boldness and freedom of the brush which impresses the onlooker in an unforgettable manner.
Somehow the picture before us has undergone an inner process of transformation in the artists mind, giving us only a completely satisfying whole, so true to life and yet so different from it. The design is more obvious. The artist has presented it to us only as appears to him, and can be understood by others. It does not try to paint all before one’s eyes, and it leaves a great deal to the onlooker’s imagination. Sometimes only the tip of a plum branch is given in the whole picture and left there as perfect.
This artistic tradition did not come by chance. Its characteristics may be most conveniently summed up, I think, in the world lyricism, and this lyricism came from a certain type of human spirit and culture. For we must remember that Chinese painting is closely related, in spirit and technique, to Chinese calligraphy and Chinese poetry. Calligraphy gave it its technique, and Chinese poetry lent it its spirit.
It was Wang Wei, born in 699, a first-class landscape painter himself, who first introduced into painting the spirit and technique of Chinese poetry, with its impressionism, its lyricism, and its emphasis on atmosphere. Thus the “father of the southern school,” which makes Chinese painting and deservedly famous, was a man nurtured in the Chinese poetic spirit.
Later on, in the eleventh century, under the influence of Song scholars like Su Dongpo (1035--1101), Chinese painting reached still greater simplicity and subjectivity. Su Dongpo even painted a bamboo tree without its joints, and when someone protested, he replied by asking, “Did the bamboo grow by adding one joint to another ” Su, who was great writer and poet, specialized in painting bamboos, and his bamboo was like his “running script”, a splash of ink without colours.
The best way of understanding Chinese painting is to study these influences which went into the building of that peculiar tradition.
8.According to Para. 1, Chinese painting is different from Western painting because____________.
A.it leaves much space for poems B.its painters enjoy great freedom
C.it presents simplicity to a degree D.its tone and atmosphere is visible
9.From Para. 2, we know that Chinese painters____________.
A.tend to transform reality into puzzles B.usually show how they view the subject
C.produce works beyond their imagination D.guide people to perceive the world as a whole
10.From the examples of Wang Wei and Su Dongpo, we know____________.
A.influential poets are great painters B.how Chinese culture has developed
C.what abilities are needed to create paintings D.Chinese traditional art forms are linked tightly
11.Why does the author write the passage
A.To trace the root of Chinese culture. B.To introduce different painting techniques.
C.To show the features of traditional Chinese art. D.To present how to appreciate Chinese painting

France is a country of great food, great fashion, and great art. It is also the birthplace of various painting movements and has been home to the world's most influential painters.
Claude Monet
Claude Monet started the Impressionist movement that completely changed the face of French painting in the second half of the 19th century. He first started out with selling charcoal pictures in Paris and started painting with oil after meeting Eugene Boudin. Eugene, who taught him to use oil paints, also encouraged him to paint outdoors. Later he mastered the technique and painted with his own style.
Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh was a post-Impressionist French painter of Dutch origin, whose work had a huge influence on the 20th century art. His early works consisted more of somber(忧伤的)earth tones. However, influenced by Gauguin, Monet, Pissarro, and Bernard, he adopted brighter colors in his works, started experimenting with various techniques and formed his own one. Having produced more than 2,000 works of art, the artist sold only one painting during his lifetime-The Red Vineyard at Arles.
Edouard Manet
As one of the first artists to paint modem life, he began to paint in his own style, maintaining some of Couture's technique like the use of thick lines and dark colors. He was greatly influenced by Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, which can be seen in his use of light shades. Most of his paintings show scenes from daily life on the streets of Paris.
Camille Pissarro
In his early years, Pissarro painted scenes of rivers or paths from memory. After meeting Paul Cezanne, who shared his interest of painting in a more realistic style, he changed his course to Impressionism. During his career, he experimented with various styles and formed his own one.
12.Who was one of the founders of the Impressionist movement
A.Claude Monet. B.Vincent van Gogh. C.Edouard Manet. D.Camille Pissarro.
