阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的选项中,选择最佳选项。
What
do
you
see
when
you
look
at
abstract
(抽象)
art?
Can
you
understand
it?
Does
it
look
like
anything?
Abstract
art
became
popular
in
the
early
20th
century.
Artists
did
not
want
to
paint,
draw,
or
sculpt
things
exactly
like
they
looked.
They
didn't
want
their
art
to
be
realistic
(现实).
They
were
more
interested
in
basic
shapes
and
colours.
Picasso
is
probably
the
most
famous
of
these
artists.
He
painted
and
drew
in
many,
many
styles.
Sometimes
he
used
a
lot
of
blue
colours
(his
"blue
period").
Later,
he
used
more
red
and
pink
colours
(his
"rose
period").
Many
of
his
other
paintings
are
called
"cubist
(立体画派)"
because
they
are
made
of
painted
squares.
After
a
long
time,
Picasso's
paintings
became
more
and
more
abstract.
He
painted
people
and
things
using
strange
shapes.
His
work
was
so
strange
that
many
of
his
workmates
didn't
understand
it.
Kandinsky,
another
famous
artist,
used
lines,
shapes,
and
patterns
to
paint
his
subjects.
His
paintings
also
used
strong
colours
to
express
feelings.
Other
artists
like
the
surrealists
(超现实主义者),
were
interested
in
subconsciousness
(潜意识).
Painters
like
Breton
and
Magritte
used
many
symbols
in
their
works.
The
meaning
or
subject
of
their
work
wasn't
always
clear.
Dali,
another
surrealist
artist,
painted
pictures
that
looked
like
dreams.
There
are
still
many
abstract
artists
around
the
world.
It's
often
hard
to
say
what
their
art
is
about.
That's
the
way
many
artists
prefer.
They
want
each
person
to
look
at
art
and
find
their
own
meaning
in
it.
35.
Which
would
be
most
like
abstract
art?
A.A
painting
of
a
house.
B.A
sculpture
of
a
car.
C.A
drawing
of
two
people
in
a
coffee
house.
D.A
red
and
blue
painting,
with
no
clear
subject.
36.
What
happened
to
Picasso's
work
after
a
long
time?
A.It
became
more
abstract.
B.It
became
less
strange.
C.He
went
from
using
red
colours
to
using
blue
colours.
D.He
only
painted
with
coloured
squares.
37.
How
did
Kandinsky
express
feelings?
A.By
using
strong
colours
and
shapes.
B.By
painting
realistic
people.
C.By
painting
with
a
lot
of
symbols.
D.By
painting
in
red
and
pink
colours.
