The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But today’s murals are characteristically the products of artists working with local residents on design and creation.
Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of the mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and established cultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.
The primary purpose of the passage is to
选项
A、argue for the superiority of a style of art
B、consider the impact of an art movement
C、describe the political content of a certain works of art
D、detail the characteristic style of an art movement
E、place an art movement in its historical context
答案
E
解析
主旨题。本文主要是介绍了Chicano在二十世纪七十年代的壁画复兴运动。文章主要从两个方面来介绍这个运动:第一段通过和四十年前的艺术运动对比,从时间的纵轴上定位了这个运动;而第二段则通过和同时期的政治运动建立联系,从时间的横轴上定义了这个运动,所以选项E中的historical context非常贴切。
