英语文学和艺术的描述

很多正在学习英语10年级或者12年级的学生都会问我，“老师，我们背那么多诗意化&描述性的单词有什么用啊？平时又不会用。”真的吗？

今天，我们来看一些艺术和文学领域里面经常运用到的描述人物/事件的词句。这些词汇和短语的运用在省会考中都是加分点。而且，对于那些喜欢艺术的童鞋来说，这些词句也经常会出现在博物馆，美术馆或者音乐描述中。下面，我们来看一个对毕加索作品的描述。

Dilapidated studio: 荒废了的画室

In the heart of somewhere: 在某地的中心

Attributed to …： 归根于…

Turn away from: 对…感到厌烦

Melancholic depiction of poverty:  贫困而带来的由于

Dedication to sth: 付出权利做某事

Unconventional hierarchy: 不同寻常的阶级

Pictorial: 绘画的，形象化的

这些描述其实大部分也都可以用在我们的文学写作中。 所以，老师建议大家如果平时多留心街边的广告或者一些杂志&报纸中的词句，摘要下来，其实有很多都可以随时运用的。

PABLO PICASSO

Woman Combing Her Hair, 1906

The early sketch Woman Combing Her Hair was drawn the year Fernande Olivier moved into Picasso's dilapidated studio in the Bateau-Lavoir building, in the heart of Paris' bohemian Montmartre district. This period would see a shift in Picasso's art, which scholars have generally attributed to the presence of Olivier in the artist's life. He began to turn away from the melancholic depiction of poverty during his Blue Period (1901-04) toward the more positive and softer imagery of his Rose Period (1904-07). The soft and tender lines in the naturalistic Woman Combing Her Hair confirm this idea and bear testimony to the couple's newfound love as well as to the peacefulness of their early life together. The numerous drawings and studies from this period indicate Picasso's dedicatoin to a new presentation of the body, where space and object referenced an unconventional hierarchy of planes. This quest for a new definition of pictorial space eventually led him to the development of Cubism with the artist Georges Braque in 1907.
