The revival has been encuraged by Cvid lckdwns, “which allwed peple t explre the craft at hme, says natural-dyeing enthusiast and teacher Susan Dye. It’s unlikely, thugh, that the practice wuld have caught n in quite the same way if nt fr a cntinually grwing discmfrt abut fashin’s heavy ftprint. Frm carbn emissins t animal cruelty, fashin is under cnsiderable inspectin. “Put it this way, 97% f dyes used in the industry are petrchemically (石油化学产品) based,” says sustainable fashin cnsultant Jackie Andrews, wh helped advise the UN Ethical Fashin Initiative.

Abstract art, a genre ften misunderstd and deeply invlved in augument, challenges the traditinal nrms f visual representatin. It resists simple explanatin, making viewers cnnect with the artwrk in a mre thughtful and emtinal way. This style f art, eschewing (避开) literal depictin, instead uses shapes, clrs, frms, and gestural marks t achieve its effect.
The genesis f abstract art can be traced back t the early 20th century, a perid marked by rapid technlgical advancements and significant scietal changes. Artists began t mve away frm realistic prtrayal, seeking new ways t express the cmplexities f the mdern wrld. Pineers like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mndrian brke away frm traditinal techniques, favring a mre subjective apprach that emphasized inner feelings ver external realities.
Kandinsky, ften hailed as the father f abstract painting, believed that art shuld be free frm the cnstraints f representatinal accuracy. He advcated fr the use f clr and frm as tls t evke emtin, asserting that they pssessed an intrinsic spiritual value. Mndrian, n the ther hand, fcused n reducing art t its basic elements – a style he termed Neplasticism (新塑造主义). His cmpsitins, characterized by hrizntal and vertical lines intersecting at right angles, sught t achieve a sense f harmny and balance.
In the ensuing years, abstract art evlved int varius mvements and styles, each ffering a unique perspective n the nn-representatinal aesthetic. Mvements like Abstract Expressinism, led by artists such as Jacksn Pllck and Mark Rthk, emphasized the creative prcess and the physical act f painting. Pllck's drip paintings, made by spreding and dripping paint nt the canvas, shwed the mvement's lively and energetic nature.
Despite its evlutin, abstract art has ften been met with skepticism. Critics argue that its lack f clear, recgnizable frms makes it inaccessible t the general public. Hwever, prpnents f abstract art cntend that its value lies in its ability t transcend language and cultural barriers, ffering a universal frm f expressin that cnnects with the viewer n a subcnscius level.
The impact f abstract art extends beynd the cnfines f the art wrld. It has influenced varius fields, including architecture, design, and fashin, underscring its significance as a revlutinary frce in the realm f creative expressin.
32.What distinguishes abstract art frm traditinal art frms?
A. Its fcus n realistic prtrayal.
B. Its emphasis n histrical themes.
D. Its reliance n technlgical tls.
D. Its use f nn-representatinal elements.
33.Hw did Wassily Kandinsky view the rle f clr and frm in art?
A. As means t achieve representatinal accuracy.
B. As tls t evke emtinal and spiritual respnses.
C. As elements secndary t the subject matter.
D. As techniques t enhance visual cmplexity.
34.What was the primary gal f Piet Mndrian's Neplasticism style?
A. T depict mdern technlgical advancements.
B. T capture the dynamism f urban life.
C. T reduce art t its basic elements fr harmny and balance.
D. T experiment with new painting materials.
35.Why has abstract art been met with skepticism?

Painting was a persnal jurney fr me, a way t cnnect with my rts and express my emtins.
But my teacher saw smething in my paintings that I hadn't. She said, "Yur wrk tells a stry, a vibrant narrative f yur heritage and dreams. Yu shuld share it with the wrld." Mtivated by her cnfidence in me, I decided t take the leap.
I chse the theme f 'Migratin' fr my painting. It was a tribute t my family's jurney frm Mexic t the United States, a blend f clrs and emtins depicting bth the struggles and hpes f mving t a new land. I pured my heart int that canvas, each strke representing a piece f my stry.
As I wrked, I fund myself lst in the memries and experiences f my family. The mre I painted, the mre I understd the sacrifices they had made fr me. My dubts turned int determinatin. I wanted this painting nt just t be seen but t be felt. I stayed up late fr several nights, perfecting every detail, ensuring that every clr and every line cnveyed the emtins I felt s deeply.
When I finally finished, I was n lnger cncerned abut winning. The painting was a part f me, a representatin f my family's jurney and my grwth as an artist.
