Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they

find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom

have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for

perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient

with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original

ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can

only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if

it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does

sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient

buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn

from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to

imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.

A. they are aged

B. they find it hard to accept modern things

C. they take their standards of perfection from the Greek

D. they look at things by the standards of the past

Between about 1920 to 1930, new artistic 【M1】______

movements in European art were making themselves

felt in the United States. American artists

become acquainted with the new art on their

trips to Paris and at the exhibitions in

the famous New York gallery 291 (named with 【M2】______

its address on Fifth Avenue) of the photographer

Alfred Stieglitz. But most important in the

spread of the modern movement in the United

States was the sensational Armory Show, in

which the work of many of the leading European 【M3】______

artists were seen along with that of a

number of progressive American painters.

Several of the American modernists who

were influenced by the Armory Show found

the urban landscapes, especially New York,

an appealing subject. Comparing with the

realist painters, the American modernists

were much removed from the actual appearance

of the city. However, both the painters of the

Ash Can School and the latter realists were 【M4】______

still fled to 19th century or earlier styles,

while the early modernists shared with the 【M5】______

international breakthroughs of the art of

the 20th century.

Cubism brought about a minor revolution in 【M6】______

Western painting, which overturned the rational

tradition that was built upon since the Renaissance. 【M7】______

In Cubism, natural forms were broken down

analytical into geometric shapes. 【M8】______

No longer a clear differentiation made between 【M9】______

the figure and the background of painting:

the objects rep-resented and the surface

on which they were painted be-came one.

The Cubists abandoned the conventional

single vantage point of the viewer,

and objects depicting from multiple viewpoints were 【M10】______

shown at the same time.
