Watercolor is the oldest painting medium known. It dates back to the early cave dwellers ’who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.
Fresco, one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing pigments and water and applying these to wet plaster. Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo’s heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few are aware that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century led to a decline in fresco painting, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly as a medium for doing preliminary sketches or as a tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters reinstated watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a notorious love for the outdoors and also great fondness for small, intimate pictures. The subdued tones of watercolor had a remarkably strong appeal for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until in the twentieth century the United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well - known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
What would the next paragraph most probably deal with?
选项
A、The works of famous American watercolor artists.
B、The decline of oil as a popular medium.
C、Techniques of manufacturing watercolor.
D、Modern American oil painters.
答案
A
解析
文章最后一段谈到20世纪水彩画在美国得到发展,超过了英国,成为中心,并产生了一些著名的画家。由此可合理地推断出下文最有可能谈论美国水彩画家的作品。选项B、D则涉及到油画,与本文的主题水彩画不太相符。选项C水彩的生产技术也超出了水彩画发展史的范畴。
