【高分范文回答】
Picasso is one of the most important artists of all time, but his works just aren’t my cup of tea. Here is why the Master of Cubism doesn’t float my boat.
Firstly, I don’t get any aesthetic frisson looking at his paintings. It’s not because I’m not into art; I am fascinated by Renaissance oil paintings, for instance. But when I look at some of Picasso’s works — the Guernica, for example — it really takes time for me to figure out what it is that he was trying to express.
Second, I dislike the way he portrayed women. To illustrate how bloody the war was in the 1940s, he distorted women’s bodies, bending them this way and that. I am particularly haunted by their staring eyes, which are used to depict how women suffered not only physical destruction but also mental injury.
Picasso是所有时代最重要的艺术家之一。但他的作品不是我喜欢的。这就是为什么立体主义不主浮船。首先,我没有得到任何审美愉悦看着他的画。我能理解一些作品的伟大之处,比如文艺复兴时期的油画。但当我看到Picasso的一些作品,例如,的格尔尼卡,这真的需要我明白它是什么,他想表达的时间。其次,我不喜欢他所描绘的女性,真的。为了说明20世纪40年代战争是多么血腥,他歪曲了妇女的身体,用这种方式弯曲她们,眼睛盯着她们,表明女性不仅遭受肉体上的破坏,而且遭受精神上的伤害。
