托福TPO56听力Lecture1原文:

Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.

Ok. At the end of our last class, I started to talk a little bit about a dominant movement in the united states painting in the late 1940s and the 1950s. And I said that the artists involved shared a spirit of revolt against tradition and belief in spontaneous freedom of expression. This significant art movement is known as abstract expressionism.

Now, abstract expressionism is kind of hard to define, but it it's basically an attempt by the artist to convey meaning or feeling in an abstract way. So the artists didn't worry about whether they were painting familiar subject matter,like the kinds of things you'd see in the world around you. They paint, well abstract things on a huge canvas, which itself was a break from traditional technique. And it was common among artists to apply the paint to the canvas very rapidly and with great force.

So let's look at the work of the most famous American abstract expressionist Jackson pollock. There was nothing in Jackson pollock straining as an artist that suggested he would come to be seen as some sort of artistic revolutionary.

In the 1930s, he studied drawing and painting at the art students league of popular art school in New York city. What he did later in the 1940s was a startling innovation. Jackson pollock used a technique, the so called poor and drip technique, for which he is best known. He didn't use the traditional easel. He laid his wall size canvas flat on the floor so he could move around it and work it from all sides. Then he poured and dripped his paint onto the canvas without touching it with a brush, just poured and dripped...........
