2015考研英语阅读艺术家和摄影师

　　A Dutch painter, George Hendrik Breitner, also seizes a moment in time in a bustlingAmsterdam street scene that is dominated by a veiled figure holding a fur muff up to herface, looking blurred and fugitive, as in real life. Now acknowledged as a giftedphotographer in his own right, Breitner used his camera for Girl in Red Kimono . This precise yet atmospheric re-creation ofhis snapshot of a girl curled up on a divan, shows her intricately patterned kimono in sharpcontrast with the design of the Persian carpet at her feet.

　　与此同时，荷兰画家乔治亨德里克布赖特纳也抓住时机记录下来阿姆斯特丹川流不息的街景，画面突显了一位头戴面纱的女子，身上包裹着毛皮披肩，只露出脸，神情隐约难辨，整幅画作看起来非常逼真。布赖特纳凭借自己的努力被公认为天才摄影师，他利用相机绘制出《穿红色和服的女子》。照片中的女孩蜷曲在沙发上，身上的和服花纹精致复杂，与脚下的波斯地毯的图案对比鲜明，布赖特纳根据这张照片进行的再创作描绘精确，完美的再现了原照的氛围。

　　Unlike their official work, none of this exhibition s seven artists ever intended theirphotographs to go on public display. Photography, for them, was a mechanical processrather than an art form. Some of the images come from the attics and albums of the artists families; Rivire s photographs, now at the Muse d Orsay, were catalogued only in 1988.Vallotton, who left just 20 images, compared with 2,000 left by Vuillard, may even havedestroyed the evidence following accusations that he copied a central figure from aphotograph published in a French magazine in 1908. Snapshot studies for two of his paintings, Beach at Etretat and a portrait of his wife entitled Red Room, Etretat, show how heworked from photographs, eliminating extraneous details and grey shadows. He used thispared-down style to create powerful groups of figures or psychological portraits.
